Hey there,
 
I'm not sure what your prescribed text is, but from your description of your ideal ORT, perhaps the film Gattaca could be a great fit. The film is supposed to be utopic because genetic selection can help them get rid of diseases but there is an element of dystopia because it also leads to discrimination of the "in-valids" (i.e. our protagonist Vincent). You could also talk about the sterile nature of Vincent's workplace to even the costuming of the characters.

Hope this helps!
