Gattaca is a great movie, but really ignores the economics of it. Yes, at first only the wealthy will have access to genetic engineering, but they will also be test subjects of sorts. Over time more and more people would have access to it as the technology evolves and becomes cheaper.

I'm not sure if it'd be available to more people easily, what resources would it use? what would the process be for genetic engineering?

I think retroviruses would play a role in some way. Beyond that I don't know.
