A high quality modern documentary series featuring real ideas and people. The host is able to explain complicated science to the everyday person. I'm very impressed with this series ;-)
Gattaca is an awesome movie, made in 1997 is so far before its time and the concept is still science fiction.
Gattaca is the original science fiction movie that illustrates how genomics technologies might be used in the distant future. I think this is a landmark movie. Similar to the fear of robots the "Terminator" movies gave people, gattaca gave people a fear about the future of genomics technologies.
Aside from the health and privacy concerns with using genomics information the movie did not touch on the potential benefits of the technology, such as the concept of "DNA romance"; matchmaking people based on the compatibility of their DNA. Google "DNAromance" for more information about how genomics technologies might be used in the near future.
