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.
