No. The only reason why organics function is their functions do not kill them directly or indirectly, before they pass on their genes. That's it. There are all sorts of things going on in your body which do not help you. They just happen because they started happening once upon a time and never weeded themselves out by killing your ancesters. How is that for selfish?

"Selfish" is an unwarranted anthropamorphizing of complex, none-goal directed process.
