Gattaca -Dna Testing

Jerome is lucky enough to have superior genes, thus giving him the opportunity to achieve his full potential. Throughout his whole life he was expected to succeed at everything he was faced with, and being an Olympic swimmer, he was expected to win but “for the genetically superior, success is easier to attain. But is by no means guaranteed. After all, there is no gene for fate.” But what does this prove? Genes don’t change personality or fate, they just allocate your future for you in Gattaca.

Andrew Niccol’s ‘Gattaca’ explores a science-driven society where there are two classes – the invalids and the valids. The underclass ‘invalids’ or ‘faith birth’ individuals are forced to accept limited opportunities for advancement and the ‘natural’ valids, whose access to any job is based on their genetic make-up. ‘Gattaca’ shows that no matter how you are defined by your genetic makeup, you will not get anywhere in life without determination.

While there are many benefits to genetically screening employees including the ability to capture and isolate potentially life-threatening diseases and conditions, in addition to the potential to help the employee and their family cope with

Gattaca directed by Andrew Niccol, is set in a future where science, and not religion, has taken over society. A new form of discrimination has arisen, called genoism, discrimination according to one’s genetic purity. The story follows a man named Vincent Freeman who was born as a god child this means he was genetically inferior to people born with the aid of technology. Vincent faces extreme genetic discrimination and prejudice, making it harder for his life long dream of being an astronaut. But we soon find that with courage and determination Vincent can rise up and live his dream despite being

A theme in gattaca is genetic discrimination. In the aspetic society Vincent lives in ,ones life is genetically restrained even before the individual is born so that each person gets the “best possible start”. The sterile environment metaphorically captures a harsh authoritarian ambience favouring genetic perfection above anything else. It is a society that overpowers human desire and human relattionships. This becomes apparent through the mechanical robotic characters that live in Gattaca. Traits such as personality, beliefs, values and morals are useless.

The movie GATTACA, takes place in the future. The main character, Vincent, is not genetically engineered, however, his brother is. All his life, Vincent is constantly overshadowed by him, and knows he will never be like all the “perfect” people. Vincent had always dreamed about being able to go into space. He was rejected many times because of his heart condition and his DNA until Jerome came. Jerome Eugene Morrow was involved in a car accident out of the country which made it possible for Vincent to become a whole new person. With a different DNA, new opportunities were now available to him.

In the movies, Gattaca, director Andrew Niccol portrays a genetically based society in a scientifically advance world that twirls around the main idea and concept about genetic engineering to produce flawless genetics for a parent’s child. This main focus is shown upon Anton and his brother Vincent. Vincent, being the first born between Anton and him, gave the doctors an idea of what is going to happen in the future for Vincent based off of genetics and also gives parents the opportunity to make a flawless child base off of Vincent’s DNA as this society wants only genetically perfect humans to be superior. Children such as Vincent, being the first born, are set up for a life of disaster and of no use in their life other than for the lowest of all jobs this society has for first born. Even though Vincent is the first born, and in this civilization your resume “is in your cells”, Vincent’s identity can be reported after any DNA testing. Vincent’s desire is to go out into space along with the superior humans, but in order to do this he must get bypass all test to save his identity for exposure in order to achieve his dream causing him to go to great lengths. Vincent does this all based off of motivation. Vincent does achieve his goal and goes to space after all his determination even though his identity was a hair from detection; Vincent keeps on going and wasn’t going to stop until he was caught. This goes to prove that even though non-genetically altered humans still have

In the world of Gattaca, the genetic makeup is very crucial for a person to be accepted in society. It is set in the 21st century, where technology has improved to the point where parents could alter and choose the DNA’s for their children.

Many characters in Gattaca are used to portray the importance of genetic makeup.

As health and wellness becomes more like an arms race to acquire everything necessary to live a long life, there is one thing that an individual cannot simply change, and that is genetics. However, in the future, parents would be able to pick and choose which genes that their offspring would express, creating so-called “designer babies”. This concept is explored in the 1997 film Gattaca. The film describes a world in which the more successful people are those that were genetically picked for, and those that were conceived naturally face setbacks and de-facto discrimination (Niccol, 1997). The film follows the main character Vincent, a naturally conceived person, as he assumes a new identity and ends up becoming an astronaut (Niccol, 1997). The film embraces topics discussed in the class, mostly technology used when it comes to health, as it is the key goal in a society like this, as well as security and surveillance, in which genetics is used as a way to keep track of the populous.

Set in a “not-so-distant” future, this science fiction film is based on a genetically imperfect Vincent Freeman, who has none of the modified DNA that will guarantee him success. In order to fulfill his dream of exploring space, he defies his face by assuming false identity of the genetically superior Jerome Morrow and enters Gattaca. Now in 2017, genetic modification is more relevant than ever. Gattaca explores the ethical implications of genetic modification as it present a eugenic society where parents use technology to manipulate their children's temperament, intelligence and other characteristics to provide them the best opportunities in life. Gattaca doesn’t just simply function as a science fiction thriller, but rather a warning of the dangers of science outstripping ethics.
