Vincent Freeman CaseMy name was Vincent Freeman. The day I was born was my parents desire to have a perfect child. I was born and conceived without the service of genetic engineering. I was suffering from heart conditions, myopia and I was given a life expectancy of 30 years. And there was my brother, Anton Freeman. He was a Valid and was my fathers favorite. He was the ‘perfect child in my parents eyes. I did not have a close relationship with Anton; as he was always better then me in everything. We used to swim in the beach, and whoever could swim the furthest, was the strongest one.
I had a dream to become a space traveller. Since I was an invalid, there was no way I could achieve this dream. The only way I could get into Gattaca is to break the law and impersonate a ‘valid. Someone who has an appropriate genetic advantage.
I found someone who I could take away the identity. Jerome Eugene was the ‘perfect valid for me. I decided to buy Jeromes identity. But in return, I had to pay Jeromes rent. I looked nothing like Jerome. I had to wear contact lenses and replace my glasses; I used Jeromes valid DNA in blood, urine samples.
As I have used Jeromes identity, I now have easily access to the Gattaca Aerospace Corporation. When I first walked into Gattaca, I felt different. I felt that I belonged to ‘home. I felt that its not me inside of me. I have taken someone else identify. Everything I would do, I would make sure that my DNA, as Vincent would be left anywhere. Whenever I touched the keyboard, I would take away the DNA left on it. In the shower, I would scrub all the dead skin off my body, and all the hair. When I found out that the Mission Director was murdered, I felt anxious if I was a suspect. My own eyelash was found in the building, which had my ‘invalid DNA. This had attracted the police. I tried my best to not blow up my ‘valid identity,
The DNA of a terrorist is a piece of data, such as a social image or a tattoo. Such things can lead to different types of people. In my case, I found this to be hard work.
A DNA sample of a terrorist can be sent to a lab where testing can be performed. The DNA can be tested by a lab that has been involved in terrorist activity for as long as someone can remember: to the point where they can remember what they are doing and how their work affects others. That is when the security guard might have seen something bad that needs to happen, or what needs to be done.
If someone uses the same ID as a terrorist, they have an ID number to send to another lab or to a specific area, without the individual’s permission, so that that the lab can analyze the DNA and see what is going in there. This leads to a better identification. The tests are as a result of this. The DNA matches. You can read more about the procedures used, as well as how their process works (on the “How do I tell who is in my DNA from who?” web page on terrorist detection).

One of the most important things he achieved before leaving that mission was to save the lives of those people on Earth. This is not to say that someone can and will become the same. The reality is that that’s not what we want. That means that the human psyche is shaped in a way that may or may not suit someone. How this is to be understood is, first, to remember that there are real people. And second, that we aren’t always happy people.

Many people will not care if I look at some of the DNA they were sent. They will only care if I bring them my identification because it will help in tracking down what is really happening on the other side. Those people will not care if I send them my identifying information.

I feel more connected with my family now. My older brother worked as an accountant in Turkey until he left the country. His wife and two children have moved back to the US. Even if we are living on a farm, we will be able to work in a restaurant. So many of my older brothers have started to care deeply about me as my true nature and my identity are more important to them.
What would it be like to live under the same roof that we live in if the roof fell down?

It cannot. The roof is falling to ruin. I feel that these men have come to take my brothers from me. No one can help
