You might be interested to note that the world's largest R&D firm [1] has a charter where they can't research offensive weaponry, but can research "dual-use" technology. e.g. if you can develop techniques to turn a cancer drug into an aerosol for oral delivery, you can use the same technique to turn a mildly infectious contagion into a bio-weapon.
