“Jerome was engineered with everything needed to get into GATTACA… except the desire to do so.” - Vincent This quote represents how people are able to choose what type of characteristics a child will have before it has been born. Although you could genetically engineer a child you can’t change its mind. Therefore Vincent was had the right mind to join GATTACA but Jerome was not able to control his emotions making him not able to join. This also makes Vincent have better chance at GATTACA because he has a better mind.
One of the recurring symbol is the genes and this has to do with the discrimination that people do. Since the genetically engineered people are “better” the people that are born the normal way are bad. This is because the normal child will have higher chances of dieing at a younger age
Genetic engineering is something that sounds good and may be good at first, but it could also ruin the balance nature has. Being able to modify genes could help us in some ways but it could also harm us. For example if we modified a gene and it helped us humans to live longer, but that same gene also made it so that we would lose sight after 50 years. This is why i think genetic engineering could be bad. We don’t know all the consequences in tampering with DNA.
