    iirc the main issue with familial reproduction is that, since families are likely to share much of the same genes, they are likely to share much of the same recessive genes. Invisible in individuals with just one copy, the union of two such individuals can create an individual with two copies, which means the trait is expressed.

    If it is cloning, that is fine, but if it remixes the DNA, It could potentially cause expression of recessive traits? I think?
