Why Aren't We EQUAL???
The movie Gattaca brings up the topics of inequality among DNA and genetics. In the movie Gattaca doctors can see all the physical and mental characteristics of each child. They're jobs and future are determined before the child even gets out of the womb. You get no chance of being somebody in life, because your life is already mapped out because of your genes. I think this show's that the government does not trust in the potential of people. This also ruins anybody working hard in the future because if you were born into being a politician why try hard to be that when you are growing up, if you know that is always there for you.
Being human in this dystopia means conforming to the rules of society, and not asking why I can't be somebody important. Job interviews only consist of having a blood test, no oral communication on why the person is right for the job. In this movie the word human means conforming to whatever your DNA test says you will be. Our depections of the future reveal that the present is insecure with the increase in technology. It has gone so far as to the fact that DNA test's limit who you can be in life.
