The idea of a “superhuman” is going to become a huge debates within the next 100 years. Annas’ claim is that “death is just a series of preventable diseases”. This tries to control the population and make a race of super humans. This compares to the way Hitler tried to run Germany with the Nazis. He wanted to have the perfect races of “blonde hair and blue eyed” Germans. I do not believe that creating an immortal human race will ever become a possibility because of how controversial this topic is. Abortion and cloning are the two biggest controversial topics when deal with humans because people do not want doctors to control the population.
The movie Gattaca, the topic of the immortal human was brought up because of the era the movie took place in. People that had health problems were classified as “others”. In today’s society people that are different than the average human is considered an “other”. Super humans will be known as “others” once it starts. Once they take over the population they will not be known as “others” anymore. This movie and essay brings up a religion debate because of the idea of human life. If people are controlling the human race, God becomes irrelevant. People would completely stop believing in religion and all theories would become useless. As a catholic human being, I am 100 percent against the idea of superhumans. When it my time to die, I believe that God had a plan for me and I understand that it would be my time to go.
Labeling people as “others” gives you the power to judge them in a negative way. Labeling other religion allows your religion to force its beliefs on the “other” religion. My belief is that a human race cannot be immortal because humans look at everything as a business. If people all become healthy there would be less reason to have hospitals and doctors. The more sick people there are means the more money that everyone is making. As cruel as it sounds, it is still the truth. Diseases do come and go but once one disease leaves and is treatable, another new and deadly one comes in effect. As much money as people make in the medical business, the idea of immortal humans will be banish for a long time.
