    The society in gattaca was very bad but from my hazy decade plus old memory of it the MC’s specific circumstance was like the worst possible example of why. Wasn’t he a guy with a congenital heart problem trying to get picked for a one-man mission to Jupiter?

      I too am hazy about a move I haven’t watched in 10+years.

      Did he have a heart problem or did his genes make it more statistically likely to have/develop a heart problem?

      (The internet seems to think that its the gene stastics things and not actually having been diagnosed with a heart defect.)

      Wasn’t he a guy with a congenital heart problem trying to get picked for a one-man mission to Jupiter?

      He sure was. He didn’t fight the system; he just wanted to get his life achievement (while potentially endangering that mission after blast-off).
