    if you’re a human.

    You can leave this out, unless we are considering fission “born”. Even experiments like ant colonies in orbit are arguably within the confines of earth. Unless we want to start defining “on” in which case I posit that a baby born in an airplane is not born a citizen of earth.

      No, because it’s highly likely that organic beings are born all the time on other planets out there. That was an impersonal “you.”

      If you’re born in Earth’s atmosphere, I would consider that being born “on” Earth.

        My point was that we know of no other organic beings beyond our planet, so all known life is born on earth.

          I was referring to all life that’s born in general, not just what we know. Our knowledge is extremely limited.
