Agreed, she started out, old.
And in possession of her original body parts.

"this is serious stuff!"

Nah...all of this is just the musings of (apparently) old farts.

Can't take any of this 'philosophy' crap seriously or you'll go freakin' nuts.

All eggs and sperm have the exact same potential, barring something that changes them, as in some environmental condition changing the mother’s or father’s body such that their gametes were affected.

The fact is that everything including us is made of elements, star stuff, at least everything heaver than hydrogen. And these elements always are static, i.e., they do not change one bit, until acted upon by another element, due to the four basic natural forces, i.e., Gravity, EMF, Strong & Weak; I believe they are actually all the same forces, based upon electrical potential, but that’s another topic entirely. So then it is clear that what causes things to change, become different, is environment. Environment is ‘everything,’ as far as differences go, It’s true both physically and mentally speaking. From star formation to element formation, to things made from elements, i.e. humans, such that environment is the key factors between us.
Completelyu devoid of reality.

Sure modern western ideology dictates that all are equal, but that is complete nonsens. Humans are by nature very discriminative, we favor our friends more than our enemies, the yes men more than the nay sayers. A president are worth more than the bum on the street.

What you may think of if "equal oppotunity", which most have, then again, the ritch kid may have a better chance at life than the one from the ghetto.

And no, it should be commonly known that fertile clinics select only the most vigrously sperm and in newer times select between the best eggs extracted.

The term elements are outdated and was from the ancient greeks, and in modern terms are called "matter". You applies it in a very nonsensical way that has no relation to anything, and those relations you make are shoehorned together.

Well, vigour may help but this model of how sperm fertilise is fast becoming out of date as it appears to be much more complicated than just the fastest swimmer.

Yes, it seems that many here are older people, if that's what you're saying. I think there is an age, where one tends to seek out philosophy, and that age is of those, on their down hill slide. Not exclusively, no!

No, I meant "do you know anyone who is getting younger in years as time passes?"
I don't personally know of any, but I'd like to be the first to do so! How about you Doc? Want to join the gettin' younger as time passes club?

I'd have to think about that, there's a lot to give up, senior discounts, medicare, I'd have to go back to work, loose my SS benefits? Of course I'd want to keep the grandkids, and at some point I could do the same things they do, if I had the time.

Don't drink as a rule, just occasionally, socially! But it's really more like the 4th option, did you feel the wind on the top of your head? Yes I can be sarcastic sometimes!
But in truth I believe your nym says it all. Are you a hammer, hexhammer, would that be a sledge? Or would that be an OctaHammer? Who you gonna hammer? You a base sixteen hammer? I think you should hammer the one that thinks everyone is equal. That'll put you into perspective! The HexHammer that hammered the one that thinks we're all equal, yeah that'll show him! Do you hammer in the morning, and hammer in the evening? It would seem that, blood surges from your eyes, what, like a hammer? While equality weeps from mine! The tear rolling down my cheek, quick, hit it with a hammer! Are we unequal, is your hammer bigger than mine? Am I crazy, or do I just run a pointed point into the ground?
