In the hypothesis of George J. Annas he writes as if the world in a more savage manner, considering the points of view as if the humans were some kind of savages in which control of one another would resolve the situation of which species is more superior than the other. In consideration of the movie "Gattaca" the in-valid's or in this excerpt "others" were the ones prohibited on doing what the genetic sciences believed to be completely inferior to the valid's which are the genetic perfections in this utopia. Vincent and Anton two brothers from different origins so to speak one made from love and compassion just a genetic confirmation of the perfect son. Vincent once told what he could and couldn't do as an in-valid, he proceeded to continue on his task to go "out there" as he would say. Doubted and discouraged by his own loved ones he determined himself to make it whether one way or another, in which case if you think of the aspect in which put in and consider human society now a days, the misunderstanding of something can lead into despair, confusion and fear of another type of superior human being. So our cause of fear may lead us into the state of mind whether its us or them, they're either going to enslave us or we going to exterminate them. Until this day we all do that as a social status, more common in high school as the cool kids, nerds and just the outcasts its a constant battle for superiority in this social atmosphere, so with given exceptions and associations of different company like Vincent can accomplish anything but the knowledge of people fear what they don't understand always leads to a species fight to be superior to another. Example of such actions would be terminator, a place where the human race evolved such a superior kind of technological advancement that to protect the human population so well that the machine than began to believe that even humans were a threat to its existence then taking all its abiding other systems and putting an end to humans its creator and major threat. Removing all these threats will ensure the survival and continue on-going nature of this superior technology. With war there is always a resistance and fight to keep themselves alive, i.e. John Conner, the man who decided to stand against the machines to preserve his existence in this world of ravaging machines trying to destroy whats left of the human race. So the comprehension of new things is always going to be a doubt in the particular minds of the pessimistic and oblivious, not knowing that its been happening for so long now that its not going to be of any surprise when people start to become drones of this society one way or the other. Even to the simplest extents of everyday life you can see who people react to the unknown, home-less hungry beggars get looked at with a sign of disgust and no value but yet that can be any one and yet still not a sign of compassion shown but tons of superior judgements because thus the people have more than the other. Its the competition of who is the most dominant individual as if in a heard of animals their can only be one who stands up for all typically kind of the same way our everyday lives calculate whether we believe it or not but yet very common among us today.
Waldemar, you will need to use specific examples mentioned in the article in order for this to be a substantive answe
