Who are ‘The Others’
    Imagine a world with genetically engineered humans to be the best of their parent’s genes known as the super humans or the valid and the regular normal humans known as the invalids, according to George J. Annas one side will seek to control or destroy the other. I will have to say I agree with Annas because having just two sides with the world’s population rather than having over hundreds of others will lead to chaos because they are not just focused about that one other group. Having the super humans will bring all the normal humans together no matter where they might be from, what culture, race, etc. it will bring them together to seek back control from super humans once they have taken away all the good jobs. The movie Gattaca shows how the normal and super human’s way of life are different from each other and how super humans strive better than the normal humans.
     The normal humans would see the super humans as the others because they would see them as the ones who took over what was once theirs and are now the cleanup crew to clean after the super humans messes. In the movie Gattaca to get a high class job as an astronaut you would have to be genetically engineered to be fit to go to space. There was a normal human named Vincent who was born with a 99% chance of dying from a heart disorder at about the age of 30 who dreamed of going to space but no matter if he lied on his resume the employer saw he was an invalid by seeing his DNA profile.

Question: So far did i show some good details to support my thesis?

  1. you showed many good details in the first paragraph, since this is a draft you just need more information in the second one, with more facts instead of writing like its a conversation. just like more in depth.
