Default reproduction of rarities

Maybe, but these are notably poor examples. Both Zea mays and Homo sapiens
are species only by agreement and notably rich in forms, rich enough to make
several species in a different context.

Why not? The corn with the insecticidal Bacillus gene is still Zea mays.

Joe Jones who is treated for Parkinson's disease with gene therapy is still
Joe Jones, as well as Homo sapiens sapiens.
