There’s a lot more to being born a certain way than genetics though. For example the pseudorandom way neuronal cell interconnections are initially established. The dynamics of the way cells divide and specialise and how organ structures form in an embryo is a long way from being predictable or well understood in terms of the variation it might introduce.

Yeah even gamete epigenetics is not particularly explored at this point outside of plants and a handful of tiny organisms.
