Discuss the film Gattaca. Do you think the dystopia presented in the film is a realistic possibility in the future? How can mankind avoid such a possibility?
Gattaca is one of the greatest Si-Fi films that I have ever seen. It's a futuristic story about the man with genetic problem, Vincent, who has a dream of working with the space organization among the society of genetic discrimination. By using blood, urine, hair and skin of a cripple named Jerome who is a disable from an accident, he assumes his identity so that he can pass the constant gene tests of the space organization and can be successful working with them. However, after a murder in that organization, investivators detect his real hair, the situation that bring him in a lot of trouble.
The scene in this film may be realistic in the near future. If the discrimination in race, relegion or gender is still going on, the next generation of discrimination may be gene. Many people may do the same as Vincent to get their jobs, or be genetic equality. The blood and urine market would be enlarged and expanded around the world. Therefore, we should be awared of this intimidation and keep the best regard to the next generation to avoid this unpleasurable possibility.
