In today's society we are continuously advancing in our technology. Genetic engineering is the fastests way towards evolution for mankind. The movie Gattaca by Andrew Niccol gives us an example on how genetic engineering is used more commonly in the future. Now with the technology, we are given the opportunity to control our babies genetic and physical attributes. Genetic engineering is also creating a major concern on what we should or should not do while modifying our genes. I believe that genetically modifying our way to being better or more healthier is not right. We should all go through life naturally the way we are suppose too by accepting who we are.

You are born a way that will either help you or give you a hard time. Some people are born with good vision, a good height, and other useful characteristics. There are others who are born with disabilities and difficulties. Genetically modifying our babies to be better would not help at all. You can still get by in life if you work hard for it and if you keep yourself healthy. In the movie GATTACA the main character Vincent feels inferior about himself because he lives in a world full of modified people. Even though Vincent was not perfect he still managed to do well and get his dream job. Genetics is part of our human potential but it depends on the person and how far they are willing to go. Furthermore Vincent had also beaten his chance of getting heart disease by just staying fit and being healthy. Genetically modifying ourselves really is …show more content…
Parents are able to design their own babies to make them better fit for the world and have a better chance of surviving. An example would be Vincent’s brother Anton who was born modified. Living in an artificial world can lead to consequences. Evolution would cease to exist because certain genes are gone and the gene pool would be much smaller. Evolution does create diversity and it also makes some people aware that humans are not invincible. However when mutations are eliminated in DNA, one DNA strand cannot create diversity. So who knows what the GATTACA population will look after generations. A example of energy used in the movie is when Anton and Vincent play chicken swimming towards the sea. Anton and Vincent use their full capacity to see who would go back or get tired. At first Vincent would lose but over time he started to win. Vincent had used all his energy to beat his brother. Information transfer through the movie of GATTACA can be when the scientists introduced the sperm and egg to each other to make a modified baby. An example of interactions can be when the scientist create the modified baby. Genetic engineering is shown throughout the movie
