The Director juxtaposes Vincents realisation of his dream and Jerome dying in an incinerator to show us the lengths they went to, to be in the position they are in now. Shows us the differences of what they are doing, Vincent going out to space to live out his dream and Jerome incinerating himself to get rid of evidence of his body and DNA.

Lamar means that even though he was reassured that the process would have a positive outcome, it did not conclude that way. His child was genetically modified, which in this generation, it is commonly done and successful however, the result of the gene manipulation for his child was a failure and in this society, known as an in-valid. Lamar does not reveal Vincent's secret because his own son admires Vincent and believes that he will do something great one day. His perception of society would say that he think the world is not perfect although everybody tries to be, and there will still be flaws even if people try to change themselves.

Vincent and Jerome had a symbiotic relationship. Their lives are dependent on each other. Jerome provided Vincent with his DNA samples, which made Vincent valid.  Jerome's paralysis caused Vincent to assist Jerome in any way possible. for example, Jerome had to act as Vincent and climb up stairs to pretend to be sick like Vincent. Vincent and Jerome's relationship is more than just symbiotic. Jerome stated "

"I got the better end of the deal. I just lent you my body. You lent me your dreams"  Jerome believed that their relationship was more than just symbiotic because he believed that he had received more

The answer would be more effective if you could also touch upon the friendship between Jerome and Vincent and how it goes beyond just an exchange of identities and becomes interdependence- then site examples from the movie

Critiquing the contention of the question
A reference to the quote by Eugene - "I got the better end of the deal. I just lent you my body. You lent me your " -  And maybe even question the contention of the question- ie. Towards the end, at least from Eugene's perspective, this was maybe not a symbiotic relationship for he believed he received more.

The purpose of the 2 quotes is to explain how god made us humans but is it possible to make what he has made crooked straight and how us humans were going to naturally work on changing/modify human genetics. The conflict between these 2 quotes have 2 main things, Science and religion, one other believes that god is what made everything and everything should stay the same, and the other is how science is proving human DNA can be modified.

As the people go up the elevator, before they reach their workstations, they queue for a thumb blood test at the identity checking pad. This signifies that the society is aiming for a utopia and that no 'invalids' would be tolerated in this so called 'perfect' society.

You need to unwrap this further for a detailed and effective answer. Comment on the symmetry and uniformity seen in the shots. the colours used and the practice of using blood from the finger tips to validate an employees. Connecting this to the theme of Utopia is good, but also detail genetic manipulation-  REMEMBER ALWAYS SUPPORT YOUR ANSWER WITH TEXTUAL AND TECHNICAL REFERENCES FROM THE MOVIE

Both brothers played the game "chicken", where they both swim as far as they can and the one that gives up loses. The competition shows a genetically perfected being (Antonne) compete against a non genetically perfected  being (Vincent). During one of the scenes, the invalid, Vincent wins in the competition. Antonne was expected to gain guaranteed success as he was valid but ended up losing to Vincent. The game symbolised a sense of equality - (fair competition). When Vincent won, it made everything possible. Antonne now sees that Jerome can be the one to successfully break through the system.

The answer will benefit from a deeper unwrapping of the characters and their conflicts through the game.  For example -
Anton's blind faith in the system and related assumption of superiority - owing to the multiple times he has defeated Vincent in their childhood. The second competition gives you an idea of Jerome's character( you need to take this further) and the last one where sibling rivalry climaxes and the effect that competition -  HINT: Does Anton report on Jerome

The geneticist persuades Vincent's parents in such a way that made them change their mind on leaving a few things 'to chance' for their child. As the parents are unsure on the expansion of modifying their child more so than originally intended, the geneticist is immediately against the idea and reveals that they would want their "child to have the best possible start," and that the "child does not need further burdens.". He goes on to say that "...keep in mind that this child is still you, simply the best of you." and that they "could conceive a thousand times and never get such a result." which conveys the message that the parents are not changing anything about their child. This convinced them to proceed with the genetic modification process.

When Vincent was in the janitor position, he wasn't allowed to go to space because he lacks the requirement of DNA even though  excelled in his studies. When he changes toJerome's identity who was genetically engineered to be a perfect human, he gets a  better role and gets to pursue his dreams.

# data[].attributes.body
Vincent's daily ritual required him to  to  scrap off and burn as much loose skin, finger nails, and hair as possible so it would not leave any trace of him as he goes around public spaces and the office.

He also donned contact lens and glued blood filled finger pads , tied urine pouches and carried with him any other human body bits that Jerome would lend  him to use if required. In order to go to work without people finding out who he really is he needs to do these daily routines.

Jerome's role in the routine was to provide Vincent his urine, blood, and hair that is needed to pass the genetic tests at work.

Vincent 's willingness to be a "borrowed ladder"  says that he's determined and willing to bare with the pain from having legs extensions to be as tall as Jerome, go on the same routine all morning, and going to work, completing his job perfectly without other realising in order go to space "Titan".

# data[].attributes.body
This is a justified reference to the new form of discrimination because science is ulitmatley ultimately creating a divide between soicety  society which causes discrimination. For example they are creating a class system that separates the Valids and the Invalids which forces some people to be treated worse then others as they are are not capable to compete with the others. The jobs given are based on the genetics.
