How about chances of being born in the ocean, or even on this planet?

    We'd need data on beings born on other planets to determine that. Currently there's a 100% chance that you were born on this planet if you're a human.

    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.
