The problem that I see is that you are attempting to value humans solely from an evolutionary perspective. Thankfully, we are not constrained by such veiewpoints, and determining what is moral goes well beyond the simple consideration of genes being passed on.
Also, what is moral is not equivalent with what is good for evolution.
