As the world is right now, we live is “gattaca-lite”. Your success in life depends on genetical characteristics that you got at conception by pure luck. You can’t (or less likely to with the same amount of effort) become a pilot with poor vision, a musician with serious disorder of hearing, a scientist or engineer with learning difficulties, an actor with some forms of autism. Parental wealth and health also have impact on your congenital stats.
