This October marks the 25th anniversary of the theatrical release of GATTACA, a science fiction film that addresses the potential complications of a world in which genetic information can be rapidly analyzed and manipulated. Since the movie’s release, many of the tools anticipated by the film have become a reality and some aspects of the genetic selection processes proposed are used in reproductive clinical practice today.

To highlight this brave new world, the Departments of Neurology and Human Genetics within Michigan Medicine and the Center for RNA Biomedicine are sponsoring a one-time showing of GATTACA at the Michigan Theater as part of the “Science on Screen” series. The movie will be shown at 7pm on Monday October 10th (Columbus Day/Indigenous People’s day) and will be preceded by a 1 hour panel discussion starting at 6pm among 4 experts on the technologies and ethics of genetic information.
