This depends heavily on the author/DM's view on what is considered a goblin. They can be exactly as you mentioned, being able to be raised to be sensible members of society (Only ones I can think of are WoW's Goblin race), or this series' goblin who fit into the stereotypical view of "a bad NPC you may murder without remorse."

For the latter part, the chances of that happening is equivalent to being struck by lightning.
