CineScience movie talk: Gattaca

With their movie talk, prof. Bas Zwaan and Kim Ferguson take you to their Laboratory of Genetics and the discussions taking place there. Using this Sci-Fi thriller, you are invited to ask yourself how far we may go in gene-editing. The movie follows a less-than-perfect man who assumes the identity of a genetically superior one in order to pursue his lifelong dream of space travel.
