I've a DVD of GATTACA Movie. But it's eugenics in capitalist world!
This film denounces eugenics in a capitalist world, in any case, in the United States (without explicitly denouncing the capitalist world, but the film's script denounces it all the same). Capitalist eugenics allows certain parents to allow their children to benefit from eugenics, while other parents decide to let nature do its thing, or even create children with disabilities, voluntarily!
This is what caused children to find themselves "invalidated", excluded, condemned to do small, poorly paid jobs, remain inferior, and even small in size (this film praises heightism, discrimination by stature, which already exists in the United States, where you have to be 5'9" minimum to be president of this country), while there are privileged people, namely the majority of humans, in the film, who have access to everything , are tall, never sick, are not obliged to do great studies, great training, etc., to practice great professions Well, it's exaggerated in this film, because, even if there is eugenics. , it will still take training, sport, education, instruction, and good parents throughout the children's childhood until their adult life!
As it is capitalism, in this current world, there are already, in this world, selfish parents, part of sects, isolated, drug addicts, bandits, etc., but who still have children, mistreat them, do not do not give them an education, a fulfilling life, prohibit them from seeking treatment, being vaccinated, transfusing them, isolating them, etc. And nothing prohibits them from having children and nothing allows these children to be able to sue their parents, doctors, their countries, etc., for having allowed their parents to give birth to them, these children who could have had a better life if they had been born to other, "normal" parents!
This film was shot in the Marin County Civic Center, in San Francisco, where THX 1138 was also filmed. This center has an atypical, retro-futuristic architecture, the future imagined in the 50s to 70s.
The person who imagined GATTACA was also at the origin of the film and the book "The Truman Show", which scared a lot of people, causing Truman syndrome in those affected.
Indeed, this other film is frightening, for a film which denounced a reality television channel which allegedly bought a baby from an unwanted pregnancy (selfish parents), a certain "Truman Burbank" (played by Jim Carrey, in thirties, towards the end of the 90s, when this film was shot) to make him his imprisoned puppet until he escapes. Truman could have sued his biological parents, the television set, and the United States (country of this film), for having given birth to him, been bought (against payment for these selfish parents) by a television set, and by the law that allowed all of this, in disregard of Truman's life!
Despite everything, even with the highest damages in the world, all the privileges, the possibility of changing one's identity, of disappearing, I think that Truman will not have compensation commensurate with his infinitely great damage, that he will have suffered throughout his life as a prisoner - studio puppet!
In any case, whatever opinions we may make of these two films (GATTACA and The Truman Show), they denounce selfish parents! But what can we do about selfish parents? Is death (CTB, euthanasia, etc.) the only solution for all poorly born children? What can we do for children who want justice but want to live?
I had already addressed this subject in this other thread, with a poll.
There have recently been threads (from me, and other members of this forum), which debated eugenics, with arguments for and against, and especially the danger, despite the fact that it would have allowed everyone to be born well, to have the same chance of having a successful life, without...

I don't understand why the "no" vote wins for this judicial solution, without eugenics, therefore alternative to eugenics. Only one person responded to my other thread. Nobody finds solutions.
What would you suggest for people of low birth who demand justice? I've seen threads debating eugenics, including a thread with a poll, and "no" wins. For my part, I created another thread, on an alternative to eugenics, that is to say the possibility of suing parents, doctors, the country...
