Gattica final thoughts:
One of my favorite pieces of the movie Gattica is that although for much of the movie, the human population of genetically altered people seem to be perfect in all ways except that they lack emotion and feelings. At the end of the video we find that this isn't necessarily true. Some individuals did feel love, compassion and were sympathetic and helpful to those termed "de-generates".
1. Can you give two to three examples of ways that the people around Vincent helped him achieve his dream and resisted a "genoism".
2. Please respond to at least two other people's opinions.
