You are trying to reframe the argument.
If physical health can be discounted, why "must one look to genetics"? Why not also look to environment, one's non-genetic attributes and luck?

Why do healthy people sometimes die of the flu/malaria/cancer/heart disease? Must one look to genetics in all of those cases too, or do you think that those other factors might play a role too?

I'm not trying to reframe anything, but maybe the problem is that you aren't thinking very hard about what you're trying to say.
