You Have Arrived at Your Destination by Amor Towles
4.0
This short is a thought-provoking story highlighting the ethical conundrum of genetic manipulation in unborn children with the selection of "desirable" traits as determined by the parents. Eugenics 2.0 if you will. In that the process also takes on the nurture side of human development, it sheds light on those aspects of our lives we haven't closely examined. Self-revelation is a bitch. Sam's presentation in the last scene is rather TMI, but I think it vividly illustrates the author's point - taking back our lives with the knowledge that we are who we are through both the good and the bad.
