Johnny-Lim asked: “Isn’t hereditary good genes kamma vipaka?”

i do not know but i feel kamma-vipaka refers to our own good and bad ripening deeds. It must come from our past?

Suppose, one would be born in a family with hereditary Alzheimer genes and one would develop this disease. Is this kamma-vipaka, does this arise from own deeds, a dept to be payed? I do not know what is the right answer but i feel that when certain characterstics of ourselves are hereditary, that decreases the change that our own kamma is cause.

kind regards,
