“Jerome was engineered with everything needed to get into Gattaca… except the desire to do so”. -Vincent This quote represents how you can engineer someones body but not their mind. vincent had a bad body but a great mind, jerome had a engineered body but he was not mentally stable enough to get a job. This proves that even though you can engineer your son/daughter to live for 200 years they can still be imperfect and be weak minded.
In the movie Gattaca people can be engineered to be perfect, and this makes people who are not perfect discriminated against. This relates to racism in the fact that if you are not perfect people will not accept you into jobs, or like you as much. The owners of businesses do not want to hire imperfect people because they may have a heart attack or a stroke.
Genetic engineering, if people were genetically engineered there would be no reason to hire people who are natural. There would also be a discrimination factor against natural people. Engineered people may also feel worthless such as Jerome if they lose. This could cause them to be depressed and stop trying in life.
