Ah, well if that's the premise, then you're justified in having perfect people. Maybe you could even name one of them Mary or Marty Sue as a wink to the reader. If you like those kinds of internal jokes.  :)

There is a movement towards reducing the population to two people, like Eden because of a massive guilt complex.  It is felt that humans have spoiled the planet (in fact cleanup is still underway with billions of robots in the oceans etc. cleaning up chemicals).  So they want to redesign man so that this will never happen again.  They are so fervent that it is almost like a religion.
