Why do people still deny that genes are important?
I don't get it, even if based Rocco were to apply to NASA in our present world with no rampant genetic discrimination, he'd still get rejected because of his bad heart.
>>62736852
GATTACA didn't portray genes as unimportant, just not as the most important aspect of somebody. A person's will and spirit have a greater impact on their achievements.
>>62737074
>will and spirit
It's the 21st century and people will still believe this superstitious garbage
>>62737212

i don't even... just...

clone an olympic gold medalist
>raise him in some amerifat household
try it
>>62736852
Except for the fact that it specifically stated that he wasn't eligible to be a pilot because he had a 99% chance of having a fucking heart attack half way through the mission and killing everyone

Oh man. This is the type of experiment we'll never get to try because dumb ass holes think its amoral. I just want to do weird things because I desperately want to know what happens.

>>62736978
That was the joke, he didn't have a bad heart, he had a genetic indicator for a bad heart that never manifested. And that's basically the real-life argument against genetic discrimination, genes interact with eachother in complex ways and we can preclude people for problems they don't actually have.
>>62737764
>this is an elite athlete in Japan
>>62737777
>that never manifested.
What about when he was on the treadmill and almost died?
>>62737839
He had to compete with the performance of an olympic athlete, he was just exhausted.
>>62737931
>he was just exhausted.
There was something clearly wrong with his heart.
>>62737958
Just rewatched the scene, he has a fast but steady heartbeat he was masking with a false one (like all his biometric readings). Then he falls over in the locker room. He's pretending to not be exerting himself but really is. Even a healthy person can do this to themselves chasing that next plateau.
>>62737958
>>62738022
Also, he surpassed his life expectations by several years and won the race against his genetically engineered brother.
>>62738069
And then he died in space because zero gravity open heart surgery is a bitch
>>62738105
He never got a heart surgery, the only surgery I recall was the leg lengthening to cure his manletness.

It would be extremely painful

Because the director is now making shit like this

He was literally fine.
>>62736852
Dude, what are you talking about? He died in space.
>>62737748
Well, these people would not be born, but better people would.
Whats the argument?
>>62737821
>this is an elite athlete in Britain.
>Why do people still deny that genes are important?
wouldn't that cause the movie industry to lose out on alot of customers who they essentially tell to fuck off cuz their genes arent good?
>>62740810
Better in the sense that they wouldn't have this or that hereditary disease, but not necessarily better in terms of achievement. The rest of the Einstein family didn't amount to shit, so selecting away the embryo destined for dyslexia would have deprived us of some physics. You don't hear about Hawking's sisters mattering either.

do it, but it hurts as shit for a long time. however if you want to cheat jahweh, be prepared to pay the price.
>>62742198
Fucking hell! Cost/recovery time?
>>62742198
There was a midget getting this done when I was in hospital. His cries were horrendous.

Leg lengthening surgery is a surgical procedure where the doctor breaks your shin bones (yes, he actually breaks your bones in half) and inserts a telescoping rod. The rods then gradually pulls the bones apart as new bone, nerves, muscle, skin, and blood vessels grow and fills up the gap.
The rods pull the bones about 1 mm per day. It is pulled apart slow enough so that new bone continues to grow, but fast enough that it does not heal entirely. The whole lengthening process takes about three months followed by three to six months of demanding physical therapy.
The entire limb lengthening surgery procedure is very painful so proper pain management is important. Anti-inflammatory drugs slow bone growth so the type of pain medication you can take is limited. This means that you have to endure the whole process with minimum pain medication.
Because of minimal pain medication, physical therapy is very painful, to the point where patients may give up. However, omitting it could lengthen recovery by two or three times the normal duration of 3 to 6 months. It could also prevent the bone from strengthening enough so it may break shortly after.
Getting enough sleep is essential to bone growth and recovery but will be a problem because of the pain and discomfort. Sleeping pills may work initially but they are not safe and eventually will stop working.
Leg lengthening costs around $85,000 in the US but significantly less abroad. Also, you will probably need 1 year of expenses because you will probably be unproductive and be unable to work during this time.
Even if you have the money, you are talking one year of bed and wheelchair ridden, extremely painful, unproductive time.

That's a door you don't want to open. Trust me.

this wasn't bad...
>>62743347
He can't get it on with that thing on his legs. And I'm assuming the before picture is just before the surgery so he can't have anything on either.
>>62742350
Best part about that surgery is you'll still have stubby little joke arms. So you'll still just look like you're wearing lifts.
>>62737646
>he had a 99% chance of having a fucking heart attack
no I thought it was that he showed a genetic chance that something could go wrong but he had nothing wrong currently. That was the whole point of the film. People were judged off genetic "potential" and nothing else.
