Do you believe in equalising / compensating for all random results of birth - appearance, say?

mk Jonathan - Sort of! According to what I'm saying, these random results are all instances of unfairness. But they may not have "enough force" to compel us to significantly redistribute along these lines.

To take a different example, which makes the idea seem more natural: some children are unlucky to be born with bad diseases. We should redistribute money to them as a matter of justice, to help give them a shot at a somewhat normal life.
