Abstract

Society is no stranger to technology - it has been adapting it and advancing it for decades. Technology has completely revolutionized the way we interact each other as well as ourselves. Due to this complete integration, there has been an addiction formulated. Human beings now thrive on technology and the way it facilitates life. However, not only does society allow society to facilitate life, it now alters it completely. The world's technology has now gotten so incredible that science can edit the genetic makeup of human beings. This opens a realm of possibilities ranging from the treating and elimination of diseases to the potentiality of cloning. genetic engineering has the ability to completely skew the human perception of self versus other, as displayed in the 1997 film Gattaca and is supported by the thoughts of doctors Michael Sandel and Yury Verlinsky.
