No, there's no good or bad person to begin with. It's the environment shaping us into one or the other. Most simply stay average persons for their whole lives. But the Milgram expirement has shown that average persons can be turned into monsters, given the right environmental influence, which ideologies provide.

Actually there has been many studies of serial killers that strongly suggest there is a genetic component to their behavior. Of course no one wants to really get into that nest of snakes because the question then arises who is qualified to make decisions relating to the sutibility of a particular person to be incarcerated/eliminated based on genetic properties. Not you or me.
