It's been awhile--what's the connection? Children 'programmed' to be something (and the whole business of procreation being tightly controlled). In Brave New World it's done with sub-conscious messaging while they sleep, so they'll *think* that their later choices are their own, when actually they're conforming to what they're meant to do. (Ooooh, just found it online! Here's chapter two, which is what I was thinking of. And I'll bet anything that Moffat was thinking of it too! Silence, silence... Damn. The last few sentences. Really... damn.)
