>Leaving a person's abilities up to chance is arbitrary and doesn't solve anything It solves the problem of fairly allocating traits which are important to have in a society, but for some reason are not preferred. Humans cannot be trusted with complete genetic control. An extreme example would be China's combination of highly sexist society and one-child policy leading to everyone wanting boys and not girls, leading to a demographic catastrophe. Imagine how much worse it would have been if parents could freely and reliably choose the sex of their offspring, instead of having to sneakily murder their infant daughters.
