Is+this+Future+Possible

 caleb-- I do believe that this is a possible future. Right now there are doctors able to identify and choose the sex of a baby for parents wanting to go through that. Also Invitro Fertilization is able to give willing parents the ability to have children who are unable to naturally have kids, and with this ability, doctors are already able to look into the genetics of a zygote and figure out potential genetic defects that child may have.

Dylan- Yes this future is possible. eventually with enough progress in the geneitcs field then we will be able to alter the genes on the code to match our likings--http://www.philfilms.utm.edu/1/gattaca.htm []

Andriana - I think this future is possible with all the technology we have. If we can decide between the sex of unborn babies why couldn't we decide the genetic makeup as well. [] []

Melissa: Yes, a future like the one in GATTACA is possible with the fast track of technology and genetic research taking place today. There's no doubt that in 50 years or more, we could be as advanced as most of the things in GATTACA. Also, agreeing with jocelyn, on the subject of reconstruction surgeons being able to make someone taller, shorter, thinner, buffer, etc., it'd be easier to create the in-vitro environment.

patrick- I do believe this future is possible. With technology these days, anything is possible. However, I do not believe anybody can become "genetically perfect". A large amount of things can be altered, but I do not every little possible thing in the human body can be pre-determined. Especially something like a persons personality. [] / []

ike- I agree that this future is possible. Genetic counciling is used to see how much risk people have for a disease. People can already pick out the sex of their kid. It is only a matter of time until they can tell you everything about your kid before it is born. [] []Emily W.- I believe that this future is possible. You can already pick out the sex of your baby. There is also genetic counciling to figure out if they are at risk for a [|disease] if you are a carrier of, so in the near future you will be able to do more than that. [|in vitro fertilization] is the beginning of genetically altered babies.

Jocelyn D. - I agree with Emily, and also think this movie is probable for the future. Already being able to choose the sex of our babies, and allowing parents to go through [|genetic counseling] to see what the chances are for a child to have certain diseases, scientists are only going to progress in their studies. We also have[| reconstruction surgeons] of all types, who are qualified to make someone taller, shorter, thinner, buffer, etc. In-vitro fertilization is also becoming more popular, and in the near future, people will soon be choosing not only the sex of their children, but hair, eye, and skin color as well.

Chelsea P. - I agree with both Emily and Jocelyn. To me, it is definately a possible future. Look at all the technological advances we have already made. Today it is possible to choose the sex of your baby, and people they thought would never be able to have children are through in-vitro... it's only a matter of time before they learn how to genetically alter everything.

Chelsey R. - I completely agree. People today are going through new procedures to choose the sex of their baby even though it could be risky. Scientists are coming up with new ways every day. Those who thought they couldn't have children can now go through in-vitro procedures. I agree with Chelsea, it is definitely only a matter of time before they do alter all genetics.

Emily Purdy- Yes I do believe that this is a possible future. Right now there are doctors able to identify and choose the sex of a baby for parents willing to go through that. Also In-vitro Fertilization is able to give willing parents the ability to have children who otherwise are unable to naturally, and with this ability, doctors are already able to look into the genetics of a zygote and figure out potential genetic defects that child may have. It will take more research and advancements to get used to a new idea of being able to pick and choose the genetic makeup of a child, but this ability is seen pretty well in the near future, where science is brewing a new way to think of life.

Billy Ripple =) -- I believe that this future is not only possible but unfortunately inevitable. People already choose the sex of their baby through [|in-vitro fertilization]. We make advances in science everyday, therefore, very soon people are going to start getting greedy and want their kids to be completely genetically altered. This will make it impossible for the "in-valids" to succeed in life.

Tracy O. -- I believe this future is possible and probably will happen. at this time you can choose the sex of your baby. with things like this available now it will only lead to more advanced technology in the future. Scientists are already working toward this. so i believe its is possible and will happen
