The gen test at the beginning gave a high probability of developing a heart condition, but it was not a guarantee. It turned out that his heart was fine after all. Yeah he lucked out, but no one was willing to take that risk beforehand. Like, did you even watch the movie OP guy? I would shame myself into the ground right now, if I were you.

Yeah, I mean while he's up in space just floating around, who's doing the janitorial work? Bigger issue to me seems like all those dusty floors and those little feminine hygiene disposal thingies in the girls' bathroom that start to overflow if you don't clear them out regularly.

it took me maybe five attempts to watch gattaca all the way through on dvd as it was my ex's favourite film and we would inevitably end up having sex or doing a blowjob at some point near where vincent beats his brother in swim chicken. I never really found out how it ended until maybe two years ago when i finally watched it with someone else. still can't remember much about it because I think we were high but i agree op, it was irresponsible of him to endanger others like that for personal gain

Maybe the chance of him actually dying is pretty low and those dystopia eugenics guys are being just a taaad too anal about the whole thing. Also maybe endangering other people is OK with him in his personal moral code, and what is science gonna do? say that's wrong? ya lmao I think not

Applewhite posted:Vincent Freeman was diagnosed with a congenital heart condition that could kill him at any time after the age of thirty, as well as nearsightedness. He hides these handicaps from his employers at the space program (by assuming the identity of someone with a more suitable genetic profile) and through hard work and determination, earns a spot on the Mars mission. Hooray! Triumph of the human spirit over cold genetic calculation, right? this movie was against social darwinism and I disapprove! also I just learned that chrome auto-capitalizes darwinism

It's pretty retarded, there is no way he will not be discovered in space anyway, and then he will be remembered as a criminal. Additionally, there was never any proof there wasn't a heart condition, we just didn't see it yet. He may well have developed something after launch

He's not just screwing over his fellow astronauts, but every non-designer baby on Earth.

If he out-swam and rescued the ubermensch he probably doesn't have a heart problem. Being made into a genetic demigod and then becoming a cop is like telling your parents to go gently caress themselves imo

Applewhite posted:I'm not denying that what Vincent did was a major accomplishment, nor that he overcame seemingly impossible odds to accomplish his dream, but he was so focused on whether he could do it, he never stopped to ask himself whether he should. It could be said that Adolf Hitler had the opposite problem to this one.

He's not just screwing over his fellow astronauts, but every non-designer baby on Earth. You could almost end up with civil war or an illegality behind non-designer children. Then what happens when the 'accidents' come along? They are removed from the home, the family never to see them again, because if they are let live in the general community then you will get this poo poo happening. And it all starts because of one loving guy.

Because imagine how security gets increased when they realise that a guy got into loving space with bodged DNA. He could have literally ANY dream that does not involve him revealing himself and loving over everyone else.

I watched this movie as part of a English class during my undergrad and my professor couldn't figure out why Jude Law's character gave Ethan Hawke a lock of hair to bring up into space and I sort of looked at her and wondered what credentials she had faked to get into her position I explained what I thought it meant (Jude Law's character was going to be an A+ #1 Astronaut but then broke his back irrc?) and that was his way of "making it", and after class a bunch of people told me they hadn't understood it either and thanked me, it was all sort of bewildering

I thought Jude's character was just some Olympic quality swimmer. He never wanted to go to space. I wonder what credentials you faked to get your job (I bet none, but guess that your degree was from University of Phoenix Online).

I looked it up, I'd completely forgotten that there was a murder mystery element to this movie. Anyway, Jude Law's character wanted to make it into space with Ethan Hawke, that was his way of saying they made it together or something

he was probably a better astronaut because of his motivation. Otherwise the naturally gifted candidates would have beaten him out of the position in the first place.
