I think the best interpretation of the question would be to strip out one’s personal experience and consider it a comparison of two societies. Comparing your life specifically with a hypothetical one doesn’t seem productive to me. Therefore, I’d ask it as either:
What time/place would you choose to be born as a random person?
or
What time/place would you choose to be born as a median person?
