Comment on How many people would a generation ship need to have for inbreeding to not be an issue?

The obvious solution here is to include frozen gametes in the ship’s cargo to increase the diversity of the population. It would be culturally easiest with frozen sperm but if necessary you could include eggs as well, provided people are willing to be surrogate mothers.

i don’t think it would even be that much of a concern, really. Not only can one person have multiple children (so you can do one surrogate and one genetically yours), but there are plenty of people who’d just be happy they get to give birth to their child and couldn’t care less about genes.
