There's a founder of a genetic sequencing and embryo selection start up that I talked to who said they were "inspired by Gattaca" and isn't shy about bringing that inspiration up[1] at any opportunity.
Their company's promotional material also isn't shy about selecting embryos for predicted intelligence, height, etc.
