thats the picture I used

Gattaca was written around the idea that your genetic history would become public knowledge, and that those with "imperfect" genetics would find themselves isolated within society. It was about the struggle of one man to overcome his genetics and prove that he was just as capable as the genetically perfect.

This technology has more in common with the eugenics movements of the last century. The threat here isn't so much ostracism, but the specter of a future in which our naturally bred children and grandchildren with genetic abnormalities find themselves a smaller and smaller segment of society. Keep in mind that the majority of children are already genetically perfect and are created the old fashioned way. Genetically filtered children will have no inherent advantages over humans who achieved that genetic perfection in the bedroom instead of the laboratory.

I don't really have a problem with selecting out embryos with genetic abnormalities, so long as that kind of genetic testing remains private and isn't available to employers, insurers, or other people. That would reduce disability and disease, while avoiding the whole Gattaca scenario.

Yes, it could be used wisely to remove genetic diseases like muscular dystrophy, Huntington's chorea and Tay-Sachs from the genome within a few generations, at least in the first world.

However, it can potentially be used by eugenics nuts to favor qualities, usually appearance related, that they approve of.

Wonder if the Chinese would embrace the eugenics aspect.

Let's say an overtly totalitarian society does embrace it. Do we suddenly find ourselves in a Eugenics race?

and more docile females, same as they would here.

the Eugenics Wars from Star Trek.

This would provide more control over the odds.

I suspect.
