I watched Gattaca and drew the opposite conclusion. The film defends science through by walking us through the consequences of clinging to the superstition of our ancestors. Being genetically inferior does not wipe away the human drives to belong and achieve. The life of those less fortunate is harder and it is dishonest to pretend that everyone has an equally fantastic life. The main character suffers because of the careless choice his parents made. Even though his parents change their views and recant with their second child, the protagonist remains left behind. In the world of Gattaca we see that only a few religious nut jobs inflict natural conception on their children. They are called god-born because they are the product of religious extremists. Genetic engineering is common and accessible to all classes. For example portable genetic testing services so ubiquitous that they are available at company party. As viewers, we should take away what I means to choose to cripple another human permanently. You should think long and hard about winning Jesus points for a second life by consigning a real person with the same ability to feel and dream to Hell in this life.
