In the essay “The Man on the Moon” George J. Annas writes that “The new ideal human, the genetically engineered ‘superior’ human, will almost certainly come to represent ‘the other.’ If history is a guide, either the normal humans will view the ‘better’ humans as the other and seek to control or destroy them, or vice versa” (236). Write your response about this hypothesis, taking into consideration the movie Gattaca, the views Annas offers in his essay, our class discussion on the idea of "the other" and examples from human history as well as the present. More than one position is possible. This should be a substantial response, more than just a paragraph.
