meaningful” (Wald 45). These words were spoken by a Nobel Prize winning biologist and Harvard professor‚ George Wald‚ in a lecture given in 1976 on the Dangers of Genetic Engineering. This quotation states that incredible inventions‚ such as genetic engineering‚ are not always beneficial to society. Genetic engineering is “altering the genetic material of cells and/or organisms in order to make them capable of making new substances or performing new functions” (Wald 45). It is also one of

Gattaca challenges the wisdom allowing genetic potential determined from birth to decide the future of an individual? Genetic potential. What does this phrase mean to our society? Simply an aspect of the future to most‚ a mere scientific term that means nothing to some‚ or it could be a devastating reality for others. The film Gataca poses this question and seeks to find the truth behind genetic potential and how it is used to determining the future of an individual. Through the character of Vincent

let µ = E (X). The variance of X can be expressed as: V ar(X) = E X 2 − µ2 7. TRUE For random variables Y and X‚ the variance of Y conditional on X = x is given by: V ar(Y |X = x) = E Y 2 |x − [E (Y |x)]2 8.
