It is finished. The last chromosome (ironically referred to as "chomosome 1") has been fully mapped by the Human Genome Project. This means that all of the human chromosomes have been mapped, and now we can begin zeroing in on the details behind the genes - beyond the "eye color is here" to "blue looks like this, green like this, and magenta would look like this."
If there was ever a film that was before its time, it was Gattaca which came out right around the beginning of DVDs (1997). Starring Ethan Hawke and Uma Thermon, it posited a future where we are all judged every day by our DNA, and a smart man can not even get a job in an important position if his genes show a predisposition for dying young from a heart condition. It is a great film, and were we will be heading over the next decade or two. I would highly recommend EVERY Mod-Blog reader see it, and that if there are any Hollywood insiders here to consider either rereleasing it or doing a remake with updated science and detail. It is a much more societally pressing debate than anything in the DaVinci Code movie, and actually is based on science instead of myth and speculation.
