Gattaca paragraph

In the film, Gattaca directed by Andrew Niccol, one of the main themes of the story is how Eugenics is used to filter out people via their genetics and their physical strength. He does this by creating the idea that if you design your baby before it is conceived then it can have the absolute best genes from the two parents and have a strong immunity to most diseases. In Gattaca, a Character, Vincent is born without being genetically modified which means he has defects and his body is not the strongest but yet he pushes through his barriers and becomes Jerome Morrow which the people who work at Gattaca know him as the best of the best, Vincent then ultimately achieves his goal of going off of earth and traveling to other planets despite his defects and barriers. one example of his barriers is his heart defect, where he was meant to die a few years ago but he pushed through and became healthier meaning his heart could function a little bit better, and his heart was supposedly not healthy enough to ever survive the trip to titan. Vincent’s ambition helped him get to this point and did not lead him to his own demise because he worked hard and played fair to get to where he wanted to, His ambition was the thing that kept him motivated to strive to do more to work harder.
