Luck has a positive or negative value. You can be lucky or unlucky. But how many times do you hear someone say, "I never win anything." But I know of people who always seem to win something. So, can luck be a genetic trait? After all, everyone is the product of a certain amount of luck, being the culmination of a sperm being in the right place at the right time. But would it be possible to breed for good luck. For example, taking lottery winners etc. and forming relationships between them.
Would their offspring continue to be exceptionally lucky?
Will we see a time when a new breed of human, who can be lucky most of the time. And what about the negative - unlucky. If luck is a part of our Universe then we must have the opposite. But, wouldn't that cause a paradox. As the unlucky ones would be bred out of existence. Unless, we can have a quantifiable limit to Luck. This question is really for a forum. But I am intrigued into what answers I might receive.
