Well...that depends on a lot of things. One may or may not have a chance...and one may not have a chance even if both are right at the beginning of life. It's more complicated than that. It's not either/or. For instance, it often doesn't matter much how good one's genes are if they have a really ugly negative infant attachment experience.
