I still don't get your overall point. What does survival of the species have to do with the discussion? If we're talking specific examples it doesn't come into play. Survival of the species is only relevant when viewing the larger picture.

Actually, it's a bit of an exaggeration to say I have bad genes. Speaking in terms of heritage, evidence points to my genes being quite strong. It's only the one specific subset that's bad and I only have a 5% chance of passing that on to future offspring.

I should take pictures of my extended family with me next time I go to the bar.

"Baby, look at all of these healthy people. I have strong genetic code. We should totally bang!"
