It really troubles me to know that we've started to apply this method of genetic testing for human sports as well, which this article mentions. Testing and admitting children based on their genetics traits is a slightly removed method of promoting eugenics all over again.
If this were to catch on, we can image little kids interested in competitive sports pre-screened and "discouraged" from playing competitively even before getting their first baseball glove or basketball. Imagine if this were to catch on to other "sports," such as e-sports or chess. It eerily mirrors the dystopian society depicted in Gattaca.
