I wonder why? Would it be because of what ObamaCare will bring?

Gattaca is here
One of my favorite movies is 1997's Gattaca
. It's a fictional story set in the not-too-distant future, where virtually all babies are "genetically engineered" to be free of genetic flaws or diseases. Job applications are submitted with blood and urine tests. Although this is done today, it's typically for drug testing purposes. In the movie, it's done to determine health, likely aptitudes, genetic predispositions to mental illness or addiction, etc. The story centers around a protagonist whose parents wanted a "God baby" - a birth left up to nature. The viewer follows this "natural" protagonist through his efforts to fit into this genetically "perfect" society.
Apparently, "not-too-distant" is here. See the following:
