the problem with where we are born though is that no-one has a choice - that's one of the many reasons that make race/gender/location-based discrimination moronic and infantile, and the imperium are big proponents of hating "filthy xenos" (even the peaceful ones) simply because of where/how they are born. however if we could choose where we are born in 40k, my choices would be...

if born a tau i would like to be within the air caste, as they get to see the stars.

if born an eldar i'd like to be an exodite, as they seem to have the most comfortable lives out of all eldar (dark included).

if born a necrontyr i would like to be born of a 'high-caste' since they are pretty much the only necrontyr whose intellects/personas have been retained in the aeons since becoming necron.

if born an orkoid i would like to be, preferably a mekboy, but any type of boy would do, as orks tend to have the most fun - as long as there's a scrap they're happy, and with ork numbers there's always a scrap available :P

if born a human i would like to be born on a relatively civilised world from the previous empire that hasn't yet been re-discovered by the imperium, since the imperium, in general, isn't a nice place to live in - if the xeno's don't kill you your own species will.

i think i would choose to be born a tyranid though. obviously i'd want to be born at least a tyrant since i value intellect and free will, but also so i could have access to the knowledge of the hive mind (in essence i would be nothing more than a tiny speck of the hive mind). but mostly i'd want to be born a tyrant so i could be part of, and access the memories and knowledge of, the only species to have travelled across intergalactic space. think of all they have seen... and eaten :P
