And what they have to do, actively, are just : have sex, eat, sleep, have sex, eat,....... sleep,.....Such a society would do a lot more than that! What about create, and enjoy creation (art, music, literature, science, nature), Meditate, philosophize, go hiking in the hills, explore the oceans, do yoga, dance, worship, sing, laugh, form clubs and societies...
Put
everything you think is good into the list!

they never care to understandI think they would care to understand. Life loves to grow and expand. When someone has a capability, and they are healthy, they love to use it.

On this you can check out the book by A. Huxley called 'Brave new world' - he is musing on exactly this type of society.I would say not at all. His book portrays a society that is highly genetically aware, but is as far from heaven as you could imagine. I think his book is largely a warning against becoming genetically aware, or at least, against acting from that awareness.
Much as if, before humans developed the science of Fire, a novelist who disapproved of fire might write a book in which people did use fire, and in the book, everyone burns to death at some point.
Such a novelist might call his book, 'Fire -- the Warm New World".
