Spira

Hojo gave a displeased 'hmph'. "I do science, not politics." The only people who considered it of benefit that Shinra kept a lot of mediocre scientists on its payroll were those who were either too concerned with moral implications, as though hurting a few people now wasn't infinitely better than letting thousands die later, or in the great clash of egos that was international politics.

Hojo didn't care. Hojo famously didn't care, and would lend his expertise to anyone willing to fund his work, and if that meant they also had to be unwilling to ask him too many questions about how he obtained his results for fear of getting uncomfortable, so be it. Hojo would tell them if they asked. If they didn't want to know, then they shouldn't ask.
