Seriously. How can you say that there is no such thing as a bas gene or a good gene? I guess that it depends on your definition of bad, but generally by most human standards, being blind, or having a deadly disease is a bad thing...

 

The "goodness" and "badness" of genes are both arbitrary and time dependent. What is good now could be bad later. What is bad now could be good later.

 

It's a completely arbitrary, subjective, and biased label with no inherent use or descriptive power.

 

 

 

Is it good to have a fast metabolism? It helps you from gaining weight when food is abundantly available, but it makes you die during times when food is in short supply.

 

Exactlly my point. it's just by the circumstances surrounding the event.

 

Still a useless and arbitrary label though.
