In Gattaca's world, most parents genetically engineer their children, and the few parents who conceive naturally risk producing children who become members of an underclass called "invalids." Set in the "not too distant future," Gattaca, which starred Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman, and Jude Law, debuted on October 24, 1997. The dystopian sci-fi thriller is a cautionary tale of what could happen if humanity doesn't check its eugenic impulses. Fifteen years after the film's release, advances in reproductive and genetic medicine are producing the type of society Gattaca warned against. |

LifeSiteNews
Actor Christian Bale presented blind forced abortion opponent Chen Guangcheng with an award last night at the annual gala of Human Rights First. In December 2011, while Chen was still in China under house arrest, Bale attempted to visit Chen but was roughed up by thugs, who prevented him from visiting Chen's village. Bale said at that time, "What I really wanted to do was shake the man's hand and say 'thank you,' and tell him what an inspiration he is." | |
