Their job/profession was already determined by their dna stature... and how far they could go in that job (or in their life in general) was predetermined based on their DNA profile that anyone could access. And in this world of genetically enhanced/modified humanity, no one in that movie was happy.
In this real world case, all I think he was trying to do was just be THE FIRST. In that motivation, I disagree wholeheartedly with what he was trying to do.
