===History of the Australian Eugenic Program=== | |||
Australia’s eugenic program was one of the most radical and was pursued for longer than any other of its kind. It was based on the NAZI Lebansborn program, and designed to kidnap the aborigine children from their families and place them in camps where they would be molded into white Australian citizens. The NAZI Lebansborn program differed slightly, as it was designed to breed superior Aryan traits into the German population, but they both used the principles of eugenics to try and achieve a more superior race. The Australian program lasted from the early 1905 to 1970. Eventually it came to an end as people began to be alarmed at the cruelty of the program. The program began when people noticed an increase in the number of half-castes throughout Australia. Many whites shared the opinion of Chief Protector Henry Princip, who wrote in his report that "Each half-caste is a menace to the future moral safety of the community." This was a hotly debated topic, which eventually received government backing in 1905, when the government gave the authority to remove half-caste children from their mothers. James Isdell was given the job of removing all half-caste children from their homes and bring them to camps where they would be “civilized.” Many complaints emerged about the cruelty of this action, but Isdell compared the aborigines to animals explaining that the mothers felt no different to a dog when her puppies were taken away from her (Manne). This was one of the biggest downfalls of the Australian eugenic program, as the whites viewed aborigines as un-humane. The aborigine children were brought to camps were to never again have contact with their homeland or families. Most of the camps were Christian missions with the goal of Christianizing the natives and easing them into the white society. | |||

===Why the Eugenic Program Couldn't Work=== | |||
The biggest flaw in the Australian eugenic program, and almost every eugenic program, is the determination of the superior and inferior races. There are many different races of people around the world, and each one has particular characteristics. Some can be detrimental and others can be very beneficial. In Australia the aborigines were labeled as the inferior race, simply because they lived a different life style to that of the whites. The fact is they had been surviving on the Australian continent just fine for thousands of years before the whites came to their land. Also it was shown in the movie “The Rabbit Proof Fence” that the aborigines were not as stupid or inferior as the whites believed. The journey that Molly, Daisy, and Grace preformed was inspirational and incredible. They out smarted their white followers and were able to make it all the way back to their land on pure ingenuity. The natives may have lived a different life style and done things their own way, but they were not an inferior race to the whites. | |||
The tactics used in the Australian eugenic movement were brutal. These innocent children were being taken from their mothers and would never see them again. The mothers were stricken with grief, as any mother would be when their child was taken from them. The whites looked at the natives as beasts rather than equal humans and didn’t take into consideration the scarring that the aborigine families received. They were forced to do something against their will and eventually the white Australians realized this malevolence and forced the program to be disbanded. | |||
===Gattaca Synopsis=== | |||
The movie “Gattaca”, directed and written by Andrew Niccol, displays the epitome of a eugenic society. In the movie Niccols has created a futuristic world where the government, law enforcement, and almost all aspects of life are controlled by science and genetics. He builds a society, which uses people’s genetic make up as the sole determinant of their social status. Just like the eugenicists in the early 1900’s believed this society discriminates based on people’s genetic code and attempts to mold themselves to be a race based on perfection. | |||
[[Image:Gattaca.jpg|Gattaca]] | |||
We see the early stages of this movement in the beginning of the film. Ethan Hawkins plays the character of Vincent Freeman. He is born naturally and labeled as an inferior person in the society. Many babies being born at his time are being genetically engineered to display the best characteristics from their mothers and fathers. Vincent, unfortunately, was not given this leg up. He suffers as a consequence. He was born the way we are all born today into a society where he was discriminated because his genetic code was not strong enough. He has doctors reading off his life expectancy and probability of contracting diseases. His father refuses to name him after himself, Anton, and instead gives that name to his second born child who was genetically engineered. He is also rejected from schools and hospitals, as they refuse to take on the risk of an inferior member of society. | |||
Vincent’s brother, who received the name of his proud father, plays the opposite role of his older brother Anton. He is the superior child. His genetic code is spotless, Anton continually beats his older brother both physically and mentally. Even though his family and brother mock him for his aspirations, Vincent holds steady to a dream of one day traveling to space. His parents warn him of reaching so high, knowing that in the Gattaca society it is virtually impossible for Vincent to reach his goal. Vincent, however, wont take no for an answer and is positive that he will achieve his dream. | |||
Vincent and his brother have a constant competition between each other throughout their childhood. They particularly enjoyed a game they called “chicken.” The two of them would jump into the ocean and swim as far out as they could until they either got scared or couldn’t physically swim any further. Anton won every race until finally one day the two swam and swam, each determined to out do the other. Vincent swam further then his brother for the first time and saved Anton from drowning. This was a major turning point in Vincent’s life, as although he wasn’t genetically superior his will and determination defeated his “genetically perfect” brother. | |||
Vincent leaves his family who never had any faith in him, and goes to work at a company called Gattaca, which is essentially today’s Nasa. He works as a custodian, because his genetic code is not up to par of the higher-level workers. He continually tells his boss that one day he will be up in the stars. Just like his parents no one takes his goals seriously, but he goes about his work hoping one day somehow he will be able to get a promotion and become an astronaut. Eventually he realizes that there is no way he can fairly reach his aspirations, and contacts a man named Jerome Morrow. Jerome was genetically engineered to perfection; his scores are off the charts in everything. Jerome however is a classic example showing that being genetically perfect doesn’t always make you into a perfect person. He was put under the unbelievable pressure one is put in when expected to be perfect. He tried to kill himself by jumping in front of a moving car, but the result of the accident only left him with the inability to use his legs. Jerome gives Vincent the hope to reach his goals, by giving him blood samples, fingerprints, and new contacts. Vincent changes his look to become Jerome Morrow. He goes into Gattaca and becomes one of the top workers at the corporation. He works hard and, although his true identity is nearly discovered, he eventually achieves his goal, as the movie ends with him launching off into space. | |||
===Difference Between Mentally and Physically Superior Characteristics=== | |||
Jerome Morrow and Vincent Freeman show the faults of a eugenic society. Morrow was engineered to be a superior individual, but he lived under immense pressure, and didn’t have the determination that Vincent had. Although physically the Gattaca society was engineered to be perfect, its people did not have the mental traits that many people in today’s society embody. They were put into a world where they were expected to be perfect and many of them, like Morrow folded under this pressure. Vincent however was not born with the physical traits that the “superiors” were, but he was mentally stronger than many of them. If a truly eugenic society were created in our world we would see many of the same faults. It would change the world around us significantly. Imagine knowing when you were born the exact year you would die, and what the reason would be. Would there even be any significance to living if you had been told your exact fate? | |||
===How Can You Determine the Makeup of a Eugenic Society?=== | |||
Eugenics is also flawed because who is to determine what the human race should be tailored to? As we see in Gattaca the human race is made to be physically superior. They have unbelievable heartbeats, and physical health. Their eyesight is engineered to be perfect. They even all look almost identical, all fit and good-looking individuals. Like in Gattaca a eugenic society would eliminate just about every bit of diversity that makes our country and planet so wonderful. By the end of the movie Vincent finally completes his goal. Even though it was against all odds and he dodged being caught by the authorities, the movie ends with him launching off into space. The moral of the movie is essentially that a eugenic society, although appealing, is completely impractical. | |||
===The Losses of a Eugenic Society=== | |||
At one point in the movie Vincent goes out with Irene Cassini, who is played by Uma Thurman. It is a concert filled only with people bred to be superior, however they are watching a man playing the piano with 12 fingers. Obviously he is one of the inferiors in their society, yet he is able to play songs that only he can because of his “genetic dysfunction.” In a world that bred out all negative traits to try and “better” the human race, we would lose a great deal of imagination and talent. People like Beethoven, one of the greatest composers of all time, could have never existed because, although he was immensely talented he was also deaf; a genetic dysfunction. Another example is Stephen Hawking, as he is one of the most brilliant minds of our time. His imagination and grasp of mathematics and science are parallel to none, yet he would never be able to exist because he was born with a motor neutron disease, meaning he can’t control his body and cannot even talk without a computer. The idea behind eugenics is that we could breed out negative characteristics in a human population, and that it would lead to the betterment of the human race. However, is this really the case? Because along with many physical traits that we could genetically engineer out of our population, we could very easily lose the determination, imagination, innovation, and incredible talents that have brought us already so far in the human race’s history. | |||

Gattaca Synopsis
The movie “Gattaca”, directed and written by Andrew Niccol, displays the epitome of a eugenic society. In the movie Niccols has created a futuristic world where the government, law enforcement, and almost all aspects of life are controlled by science and genetics. He builds a society, which uses people’s genetic make up as the sole determinant of their social status.

"Gattaca-like" Society
Overview
Even though a society exactly like the one featured in "Gattaca" cannot exist, we still do many things that share similar ideas used in "Gattaca". First off, the most obvious form of genectic manipulation/enhancement is anabolic steroids. Anabolic steroids are used by athletes and can temporarily increase size and strength. Other methods include genetic engineering and gene testing. With genetic engineering, parents are able to create the "perfect" baby. Gene testing allows parents to scientifically locate a child's strengths. All of these methods contribute to our society being similar to the society in "Gattaca".
