==Transhumanist Elements==

The key transhumanist element in the story is of [[Eugenics]] and Genetics. This is of course tackled with screenwriting and storytelling in the way of a more positive story, but be that as it may it still provides some interesting thoughts.

One of the key things touched upon is the genetic selection process, it is used 5 times as the main element of a character's story:

*Rachel's heart is defective meaning that although she has a relatively good life working at Gattaca, she will never fly to space.
*The Doctor who gives Vincent his urine tests mentions his son wasn't quite what they were expecting. 
*Eugene coming second place which gives him a sense of not living up to expectations saying; "I was designed to be perfect, not second". 
*Vincent's brother is also (in a round about way) referred to as inferior when it is suggested by Eugene that (paraphrasing) cops are not very great.
*Vincent, the man who is never meant to become anybody, is the one who flies to space.
