Did any character(s) in the movie succeed in spite of their degenerate genotype? Do you think it is possible for individuals to exceed their genetic potential? Explain.

Vincent Anton Freeman, the protagonist, succeeds in going into space despite being born without genetic manipulation. I think it is possible for humans to exceed their genetic potential. We see this in elite sport. Some people who are not genetically gifted in a certain sport attain big things by sheer determination and force of will.
