Why does my idea violate deontological ethics if I get the legal approval of the relevant governments and individuals? Would it violate deontological ethics for me to build a factory in a poor country in which workers are knowlingly exposed to a small risk of death?
Since when "legal" == "ethical"?
No. What violates deontological ethics is not you running this program -- it's the actual killing at the end that matters.
