Discussion Questions – Gattaca
1. Genetic engineering offers the potential to eliminate genetic diseases, improve health and prolong life. It would seem reasonable to support such technologies for the positive benefits they can provide society. What seems less clear is whether we should be able to select traits that might have to do with improving social status, but not necessarily with improving health. If technology should advance (and it will) to the point where we can select physical attributes such as height, body type, eye color, hair color and type, etc.; should we take advantage of that technology, and why or why not?
2. Are Vincent’s and Jerome’s actions justified by the nature of the society in which they live? If you think they are, why or how? If you think they’re not justified, why not?
3. The Director at Gattaca makes the statement that no one can exceed their potential. Do you agree or disagree with this statement and why?
