ENG 101
The movie Gattaca shows genetic
discrimination and a society which DNA plays an important role. This movie
takes place in the future and a very much different world then ours, in which
science has taken over society. The technology is more environmentally advanced
and humans are genetically engineered. In this world unlike ours there is no type of prejudice
against gender, religion, or its ethnicity but against the person’s own genes. In
a world where a person’s career and life depends on his/her genes, by trying
to create a more Utopian lifestyle in which reproduction is controlled and it’s
not a natural process anymore this I think leads to more devastation.
I think its shows that it's more Dystopia because if you want to work in
a certain place you have to be physically and mentally fit to do so. In this
movie it shows Vincent Freeman who always dreamed of going into space but was
always discouraged because of his disabilities he was even told he was only
going to live for 30 years. He was although always determined to find a way for
people to not see him differently. In the Gattaca Aerospace Corp they're
frequent space travel too different places and superior technology used.
According to the article of Annas in our world Genetic engineering is dominated by our government which controls every aspect of it. Many have wanted to explore more of it in depth. They have used the method cloning which has only been used in animals to find more about this method. Regardless, this is a very touchy subject because not many agree on this being a good thing and being against our own religion. But If this is researched more it can even help us later in our environment and many other aspects of our lives. Many agree that if you have a perfectly engineered body you will automatically live a better happier life.
