Me neither. Has it got something to do with the time I tried to make a condom using spray on carpet adhesive?
DNA
Both of these might quality one for a non-lethal Darwin Award. IOW, removing one's genes from the pool without having to take ones life.

Dammit, you don't need condoms, we need more people like you.

BZZZZZT! No. "One's" is right, since "one" is not a pronoun - it's an actual noun. It's like saying, "Martin's", or "Rich's".
And BZZZZZT! It's "apostrophe".

In some places it's "some fella's genes".
Some folks would say aipoustrophee. Archie Bunker probably would have said apostery.

Ah, but it (one) actually is in this use. Maybe you need a better dictionary. See also oneself.
I hedged my bet by punctuating it both ways. ;-)

The blinking cursor writes; and having writ, blinks on.
Oop's, I thought that "apostrophe" was somebody who works in a church.

Wasn't there a movie? "Apostrophe Now!"
