Gattaca. Good or Bad?

Good : Everyone was genetically superior to their elders. So they had good genes no addiction for alcoholism, drugs... so no one was a alcoholic or junkie among genetically engineered "valids". Higher IQ and other intelligence factors. Better health, longer life-span healthier and "better" bodies.  Individuals were a lot smarter also including invalids. The "society" had certain goals witch it tried to achieve. The government (prosuming there even was one) had a good grip of it's citizens. When a child was made and most probably genetically engineered. They usually "deleted" the bad factors. Like violent behavior any addictions and obesity (When people have too much over weight and when they get older the risk of getting your limb or other bones fractured is great. And they might have to retire EARLIER and the government usually pays the medical bill's and the retirement money so the government loses money. And the same thing with junkies alcoholics and others.) Longer life-span means that the citizen would live longer and be more effective longer so they would pay taxes for the most of their lives. And that is good for the government presuming it had taxing.






Bad : Discrimination of invalid's. Invalids were genetically weaker so they kind of slowed down the world to become a perfect genepool. Invalid's were a burton to the society. When an invalid couple would decide to have a child all invalid couples didn't have to money for genetic engineering. So the valid's are just getting better and better and because of discrimination of invalid's they have hard time to even get a proper job. So they just keep going lower and lower.
