I haven’t watched GATTACA, but now I am interested in watching it:)

Is it true that the genetically modified plants, especially fruits, tastes less flavorful? I don’t think so, but this is what our parents and grandparents usually assume!

Editing the human germline is a much more complex issue. It might start with good intentions, like preventing diseases in future generations. However, it makes me think how this could unintentionally lead to world where people are discriminated against based on their genes.
