    Holy shit, GATTACA was supposed to be a cautionary tale, not an instruction manual!

      i call this the ‘tipper gore affect’. aka, ‘you see what you want to see’

      im kinda hopin we dont go down the full-on genetic editing path as they did in the movie… maybe just hardcore embryo defect filtering for know diseases/errors

        It’s not even the genetic editing that was the biggest issue, IMO. It was the pervasive surveillance and discrimination that was even worse.
