This definition is far from scientific... In fact, it looks completely broken
to me...

Is rape filling your own "biological needs" (and therefore good) or harming
someone else (and therefore bad)? What about stealing food (which fills your
own biological needs, and does not "biologically" harm the store you stole
from)? If Gingis Khan's campaign is bad in this definition (he harmed others
more than he benefited himself), what about Churchill's and Roosvelt's
campaign in WWII - after all they didn't fill their biological needs, and
millions of Germans lost theirs?
