Unless, that is, one cannot conceive of a "good" use for something. I'd argue that synthesized "plague" bacteria and such (I'm no expert on this, so be gentle if they don't actually exist and I'm just a Dubya dupe) are probably beyond the boundaries of what I could call "good use." Of course, I think that machine guns and nukyular weapons fall into that category as well.
