Blog 10: Gattaca response

George J. Anna's statement about the new ideal human 'superior human' being considered the "other" is very creative and is a very open minded ideal way of thinking. Unfortunately none of us, as humans in the world are perfect and that is just how we were created. That being said there is always going to be people considered as the "other". No matter how genetically engineered the human can be they're still human in the inside and that will never change. The 'superior human' does not exist and will not, which technically is an Utopian way of thinking because of the simple fact that every human living on this earth is not perfect. A very controversial issue going on in the world at this moment is abortion. There have been many people who have attempted to make abortion illegal. Even though people have their ways of thinking Utopian there isn't a chance the world will change into one.
In the movie "Gattaca" character Vincent is on to pursue his long life dream of space traveling. In order for him to do that he has to pretend his identity as if he were another man. Vincent in this movie is considered the "other" obviously because he is pretending to be a person he is not due to the fact that his reputation is known for an under class of humans that are only useful for menial jobs. George J. Anna's response can relate to the movie because Vincent was considered the 'superior human' in the movie until he got caught and was revealed of his real identity.
A person in history that was considered the "other" was Ferdinand Demara. Ferdinand was considered the greatest imposter because he pretended to be someone else.In order to join the army he borrowed one of his friends name to do so. Not only that but he also faked suicide to start another new life.With his new name "Robert Linton French" he made it to be a religiously-oriented psychologist. Even though he probably made it successful in life he was definitely still considered in the inside and outside the "other".
