Idk if this makes sense.

Obviously not via sexual reproduction but could a person’s genetic parents be of the same sex and that person be genetically indistinguishable from the rest of the population?

    Yeah cloning isn’t really what I’m asking about. Interested in knowing if you can make offspring from two same sex parent cells that have similar genetic makeup/diversity to offspring with 2 different sex parent cells

      I know—I’m just saying that any other theoretical solution would always be worse than cloning, because you’d lose genetic information.
