Aren't you forgetting about epigenetics? Human being's development is not only defined by the DNA code.

- skadamou 6y agoThis. Even if you could conceivably account for every feasible epigenetic difference possible in every conceivable genetically distinct human, I'm not sure what the point is. Twins are still different people with different experiences and personalities even if they are nearly genetically (and epigenetically - at least at first) identical. I feel like the spirit of OPs post is humans in a post scarcity society have a duty to bring into existence every feasible distinct human experience. But this is impossible because DNA and even epigenetics does not encompass all that makes a person unique and distinct.
- AstralStorm 6y agoThe bigger more pressing question is: How much value is in uniqueness and is it diminishing? See, to maximize uniqueness you would institute crazy eugenic policies to combat sexual selection, random culling (literally euthanized at random) in addition to randomizing wealth and power. (Sortition.) Conceivably this would result in a somewhat unstable society, but perhaps workable. Fun sci-fi setting.
