In U.S. patent law, are things that are inherently dangerous, illegal, hurting the planet, or "immoral" nonetheless patentable?

Is it clear that no patent should be granted for somthing illegal or dangerous eg a Safe that's a Bomb?

Some people think GMO crops hurt the planet in a way that is dangerous to the survival of mankind.

Would it be possible to use this line of thought to defend against an infringement suit?
