16. The limits should be placed on genetic engineering, people can manipulate this and use it for there own power. Genetic enineerging should not be allowed at all since it can corrupt this world and cause a lot of chaos, and powerful/rich people can easily start enginnering whoever they want. It should be alowed to get rid of diseases but only with the goverments approval since without these diseases the world might become over populate.
17. Cloning should be forbidden since, people with more and money can soon replace whoever they want, and illegally start controlling cities through human cloning. Cloning of animals in order to make food should be permitted but cloning people should be illegal . If someone cannot have a child they need to find a different solution since if this is under the wrong hands it can turn into chaos.
13. The predicting of a persons health in the future should be stopped because this information can cause a lot of problems in that persons life, knowing what disease you have beforehand isn't pleasant. Maybe doctors should be the only ones to view this and if there is a cure they should only then inform the person in order to help them otherwise, people might even kill themselves if there is no cure to there particular disease, because they would not be able to reach their desired goal.
Reflecting on the Movie:
Gattaca was interesting movie in my opinion, from the cover it would definitively not be a movie that I would watch but after having to watch it, I really enjoyed it, it was amusing, and informative, but at the same time inspiring because you have one man fighting against all odds and proving the agency wrong, I thought it was ironical. However, I have mixed feelings because the agency is doing it for your own health and the health of the rest of the people on the mission. If I were the director of the film I would definitively put a scene at the main actors death or last words, and his he would just tell everybody that he actually had a heart problem, because with that he would give a lot of people hope in that world and become an idol figure which I believe he deserved.
Interesting thoughts Brin. I never thought of the ending of the film in that way. I agree with you that he should have told everyone that it was him and he could fight against the odds to succeed and it did not matter that he was a "God Child".
