alt Hacker NewsYour parents (and their parents before them) made choices in their own lives which influenced the person you were born as, that's what's fair. You weren't randomly assigned a body and identity at birth, you're the byproduct of your ancestors before you.

You had no determination on your consciousness or origin at birth, what are you talking about?
My parents and their ancestors made choices and therefore whatever they ended up on that's fair... because... ? You didn't argue the point, you only restated it.
If my mother was an addict and I was born addicted, that's fair? If someone's ancestors owned my ancestors, that's fair? If the society I'm born into values the type of person I am differently is that fair? I feel like this logic doesn't hold up very long.
