         “The better humans will view ‘normal’ humans as the other and seek to control or destroy them”. My position on this hypothesis is vise-versa. Originally Annas wrote “the normal humans will view the ‘better’ humans as the other and seek to control or destroy them”. Throughout the movie Gattaca it shows how the better humans viewed “normal” or the non-genetically engineered humans as the other.

    In the beginning of the movie Vincent says that it was discrimination down to the science. What he meant by this was that all humans got jobs based on genetics. If you were ill you weren’t abele to be sent off to space. All the men who weren’t perfect were placed to clean as a job. Vincent happen to be one of the unlucky ones. Having a chronic illness and not being able to live a long time suffered. He had this dream to go to space but wasn’t qualified. His blood type didn’t match the job description. His brother on the other hand was. Being a creation of science had no imperfections. To his parents he was the “better” brother and Vincent was the “other” pushed to the side.
