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?

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

    Edit: See Isodisomy for details.

      Under ideal conditions, I don’t see how this would lose any more genetic information than sexual reproduction with parents of the opposite sex. The problems you’re referring to seem to be more of an issue if two gametes were supplied by a single parent.
