I wrote a few papers on this film in high school. It crossed so many subjects - science, social studies, and media.
There's elements of things that are true - that we cannot escape our genetic programming. Someone with better genetics will be better at one thing or another, or less susceptible to certain conditions, while others are consigned to it.
Sometimes though, its better to just not know and do things as best you can, anyway, because you have passion for them.

I think the hardest thing to ponder upon from a social perspective, is the worth of a human in light of technology... while the movie portrays it from a genetic perspective and the technology to engineer 'better humans'... we can all relate from an additional perspective - of being replaced by AI, and automation...
So no only will we be valued based on genetic lottery, but also we are faced with question of weather there is anything we can contribute better than AI.
