In the movie Vincent is discriminated against by a society governed by eugenics. Vincent was a faith birth, or a god child; this terminology clearly shows how he is closer to the natural world. The eugenic population has become displaced from the natural rhythm of the world, and they seem disenchanted with life, as a result there are few smiling faces in Gattaca. The impression I get is that nearly the whole human race has become genetically enhanced, which is to say nearly everyone has diverged somehow from nature.
