Pre Cogs are used to prevent crime in the film. Pre cogs have qualities to see the future and they see crimes before they happen.The Pre Cogs live in pools with other Pre cogs they are connected to a screen to display images in their heads. It is unethical to treat any human the way pre cogs were treated,  pre crime takes away their ability to be human and makes them machines. The Pre Cogs don't have a life of their own and controlled by the people who work in their facility. I don't believe humans will ever be able to function like Agatha, Daschell, and Arthur. It seems impossible for anyone to know the future before it presents itself as the present.

Define term… Protective Government. People were punished because they were going to commit a crime even if they haven't committed the crime, because pre crime is a sign of a totally protective government. A protective government should be apart of the world it prevents crimes without anyone getting hurt. Had this principle been in place many innocent people would still be alive today. The Pre Crime was highly effective it  decreased crime by a rate of 90%.

My favorite scene in the film is when John Anderton shot the man who the pre cogs predicted he would shoot. This scene was very unique because even when he had control of his fate he didn't have control of his fate. He was forced to shoot the man he always said he would shoot but in the end he learned he would be forced to shoot the man. No this isn't something that will ever present itself to the real world. But I would have to see how effective it would be in the real world to decide if it should be in thereal world.
