When the stylish thriller Gattaca hit theatres in 1997, it raised deep hypothetical questions regarding genetic destiny. Two decades later, with the advent of the CRISPR gene-editing technique and other advances, the questions are no longer hypothetical. Join The Technoskeptic and the Brattle Theatre for a screening of the film, starring Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman, followed by a discussion with BU ethicist George Annas, MIT Technology Review’s biomedicine editor Antonio Regalado, and publisher Mo Lotman.
