Compare and contrast Jerome’s burden and Vincent’s burden. How are they alike
and how are they different?

had?
7. How are “invalids” and “valids” treated in the world of GATTACA?
8. When the detectives questioned the director (old guy with white hair), they

9. When Irene found out about Jerome actually being Vincent, what did Vincent tell
her and what did he mean by it?
10. Who was the murderer? How does the murderer’s previous statement echo the
words of Vincent when he spoke to Irene?
11. What is the theme of this movie? Does the movie theme lean towards nature or
nuture?
12. Is it possible to become “something more than what you are” ? If so, how? If not,
why not?

differently in the job market today like the people in the movie? Why or why not? Does
it depend on the job? (Write at least one paragraph.)
