Chemotherapy Good or Evil?
Better than nothing for most people having some disease.
Worst than THC injection, plausibly for the same group of people.
Here the Evil is only in the fact that minorities hides information
from the majority, and this for the minority's interests.
This leads to harmful consequences for the majority.

I was thinking more of how chemotherapy is ambiguous as far as it
being something which can enhance life by inevitably diminishing it,
but sure, the politics of it is an issue also.
If I had to get into a definition of good and evil I would go more
toward a political direction - senseless inequality of power tends
to lead to corruption and crime.
I think it is in the other way. Corruption and crimes, above some
threshold of tolerance, leads to senseless inequality of power.
Crime and corruption tends to lead to scapegoating or a misuse of
sense.
OK.
The combination of corrupt actions and distortion of truth to cover
them up is probably as close to evil as I can think of.
Evil = Abusive social contact.
Evil is Bf. The communication of the false. When used without
moderation. It is not a human invention. Nature does it all the time,
I think, sometimes.
