I AM BRILLIANT!

The title of the movie Gattaca (which is basically about genetically modified superhumans and what it's like not to be one) is – get this, get this – is made up entirely out of the four letters which stand for the four kinds of molecules that make up the genetic code! ACGT!

(I'm sure thousands of people know this already but ... COOOOL!)

Perhaps a better question is: would you risk the scenario in the movie (boring people with bland, perfect, similar features and no challenges to build character from, discrimination on the genetic level, etc.) if it meant you could save a child from a debilitating mental or physical disease, or prevent a premature death, or horrible disfiguration? Are we supposed to leave these things up to God, or is it our God-given (assuming you believe in God) responsibility to do everything in our power to not only relieve, but AVOID pain and suffering? I'm not sure myself.
