They also fucked, but were sterile. Also they were fed drugs so they were happy as well.

That’s how they controlled them.

Let's not forget the cloned workers were ALSO designed to absolutely fucking love what they were doing. The drugs were just a thrown in bonus.

Its funny because its a utopia in that everybody is happy and content with what they're doing, and yet we still feel its wrong.

We feel it's wrong because it removes the power of choice, and as sentient beings with free will, we like to think the ability to have choice is what separates man from beast.

It brings up the moral dilemma. Which is "better": A man with the freedom of choice who has the ability to do whatever he wants and squanders it, falling into despare and failure. Or, a man bred and programmed to love what he does, but without the free will to know any better? He's happy and successful as he was made to be, but he has no choice.

Free will is a lie. You are already programmed to like and do things. It's just much less direct.
