  2. The future world depicted in the 1997 movie,"Gattaca" is soon to be upon us. The main character in the movie is kept from becoming becoming an astronaut by his status as a genetically inferior "in-valid." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gattaca

    Insurance companies will probably be the first to use some of the information to assign different insurance rates or whether you are insureable.
