1. Definitely dangerous and unethical, but it could be done. You'd have to be VERY sneaky about it and doing so would probably be something that could potentially get you exiled.
2. Not at the moment.
3. What kind of combat-based tech are you looking at, specifically? There are the Enhanced items that can bear the properties of a single type so you can have a flame sword, for example, as well as the communication and warp technologies, so there definitely is some interest in combat tech.
4. An accidental death wouldn't be punished as harshly, although there'd definitely be some societal stigma attached to the child. Losing control of one's power is a thing that can happen with Enlightened and officially they aren't blamed for it. Likely, however, they would be placed in some intensive training regimens to prevent it from happening again. Intentional murder, of course, is punishable by exile.
