Gattaca Analysis

Some of the advantages and disadvantages to having a society like that portrayed in GATTACA , advantages of having a society like GATTACA crimes such as murder , kidnapping , etc. it would be very easy to find and track the criminal because of all the ways to find every little hint of dna that has been left behind. Some disadvantages of having a society as in GATTACA , if you were not a perfect child then there was no chance of getting a good career. There was not a single child accepted into society that wasn’t perfect. Parents got to choose the perfect child of their dreams with genetic modification , which gave the parents full customization

of what child they wanted to create starting with eye color all the way to personality . In a society like GATTACA you couldn’t get a good job that you are happy with without having your dna tested or some kind of test to tell if you qualify just based on your genes.
Society should not be judged on the way you were born and the genes you inherited by your parents. If was in a world where anything you want to do is based on your dna I probably wouldn’t last in the world if society was like that. Yes , it would be nice to change how your child was going to live his or her life . Having a job based on how you were born would be hard to have a well good career and family .
Some injustices I noticed during the film was that they didn’t look at Vincent as a smart human being they looked at how long he was going to live and his medical conditions .

Vincent was forced to steal another man’s identity under the name of Jerome. Although Jerome was paralyzed waist down Jerome was a nobody till Vincent gave his life a new meaning . He proved himself to be very good at his work and was selected to be part of a prestigious mission to a moon in Saturn. Stealing Jerome’s identity did not change Vincent’s abilities He was always capable of doing well in this field , but his genes would never have given him that chance to prove that he can be better than most. If the world was to become a world where any job is based on how perfect you are it will become very corrupt because nobody is perfect parents will start to look at alternatives and see their new perfect child will take up the parents time as did Vincent’s parents. I don’t believe dna should evaluate an employee or any human being in general , to me it seems as if they are favoriting the perfect people and leaving the imperfect people to have the bad jobs and mistreat them

.
To me people are perfect in their own worlds and shouldn’t be looked at for who they aren’t .

In GATTACA yes the technology is nice but basing people on how their genes are wouldn’t be good in reality . As Vincent and his brother played chicken at the beach Anton wasn’t exactly perfect as everyone had thought he was. As they were swimming out in the ocean Anton’s body gave out and Vincent had to save him but even though Vincent had medical problems he was able to swim save his brother and still have to swim back while holding his brother. To me although Anton may have been the “perfect” child Vincent seemed to have no issues with all the medical issues he seemed to have had . Anton ended up having issues swimming out , but nobody is perfect . If we had a society like GATTACA had there wouldn’t be a perfect person like people would think because Anton was suppose to be perfect but couldn’t swim back at the beach .

A good thing about it is that people would have a less likely chance of getting a disease cause when they are modifying the genes they can change the percentage of the child getting cancer . Scientists could increase peoples immunity to diseases Vincent is born without gene specialization after the race with his

brother he felt as if he didn’t belong in the family because in the world of GATTACA everybody’s perfect and since Vincent had a lot of medical issues he felt useless to his family .
Honestly, I think the world of GATTACA could someday happen to America it would be unfair . If everybody was made to be perfect there would be no sense of variety amongst one another . The world would be very plain and strict if it came down to that .To me modifying how a baby is and making it to your perfect ruins the surprise of the baby and taking care of a baby’s issues is what makes having a baby so special experiencing what it feels like to be a parent is all the process of life . I don’t want my child to pretend to be someone he or she doesn’t want to be I want them to see the world as who they truly are . As usual the law would have a big effect on this change it would be very organized and it would make it easy to keep track of who committed what and why .
If I was Vincent I probably would have left my family to because I would feel like they weren’t happy enough with me so they had to go make another child just perfect . Towards the end the doctor knew about Vincent and his fake identity yet he gave him a chance to do what his son wasn’t able to do . Vincent showed that you don’t have to be perfect to achieve your dreams yet Jerome gave Vincent a chance to make his dreams come true his brother knew as well but still was unable to beat his brother in a swim.
The world could become just like GATTACA and possibly even better and fair . Using the same dna scanners , but wouldn’t evaluate the employee’s using their dna to see if they qualify. Everybody could qualify they just think that since they may not be the strongest they still are really smart .
Anton was perfect but wasn’t able to last long swimming because no matter what everybody is gonna have their flaws . Nobody’s perfect and nobody’s ever gonna be perfect . The doctor let him achieve it to because his son has the same problems and looks up to Vincent ( Jerome Marrow ) the doctor wanted nothing but the best for his son . It would be tough living in a society where it all matters if you are perfect or not . All in all GATTACA could become a reality but it wouldn’t be as tough as seen in the movie . It would be fair and people would start to look at it as a fresh start in a new world .
