If I remember correctly, all they did in Gattaca was predict future successes and failures by reading a newborn's genes. From then on they were placed in a kind of caste system depending on the value of their genes. They didn't really broach the issue of gene manipulation in children. If they had, Gattaca's premise would have been flawed, if everyone is perfect, how do you set up a caste system? Actually, there is a way to have such a problem as Gattaca considers, even with genetic manipulation, but it leads down a long, winding road that I'll leave for someone else.
