I thought the movie was interesting, it was interesting to think about how eugenics could influence social inequality in the future. It is weird to think about the possibility of genetic engineering, and yet it is a phenomenon that occurs today, and is becoming a major ethical discussion. We already use CRISPR-Cas9 to edit genes and select for favorable or unfavorable traits, and the uses of CRISPR are only expanding. The movie highlighted a possible scenario of genetic engineering, one where those who are born “naturally” are immediately looked down-upon, and have almost no chance of competing with those who were genetically engineered creations.

Although, the movie touches upon how people can live up to those who are genetically engineered, but it requires a high degree of difficulty and planning in order to resemble those who were were bred for success.

I enjoyed the movie, and it really got me thinking about the future of genetic engineering and its capabilities.
