In the movie Gattaca, Anton and Jerome have a complex relationship. Anton is genetically superior but lacks the determination and drive that Jerome possesses. Jerome, on the other hand, is genetically inferior but has the ambition and intellect to succeed. Their relationship is marked by jealousy, competition, and ultimately, a sense of mutual respect as they navigate the challenges of their society.
Vincent maintained his 'Jerome' identity by shaving his body hair daily and wearing colored contact lenses to hide his natural eye color.
Cri Du Chat syndrome was first discovered by a Frenchman, a geneticist named Jerome Lejeune in the year 1963. He was also a pro-life pediatrician who helpe in the discovery of the connection between chromosome abnormalities and diseases. He devoted a major part of his career treating children affected by Down's syndrome.
Well I wondered the same thing a while back and upon researching ran across one of their drummers, Wally Gator Watson. I emailed him through his website and asked if he was the drummer for this song. He said no, Bernard Purdie recorded that song. So there you have it, from a very reliable source! Wally was actually being modest when he answered you. Mr. Purdie was the drummer on that recording, but Wally also contributed to that recording on the drums. Wally had just started playing for the Stairsteps. His first gig with them was at the Cheetah Club in NYC the night before they actually recorded O-o-h Child. They had Wally play as well so his name could be on the recording. I know about this because Wally and I were very dear friends for many years and were actually working on his memoirs together before he died. That story is in his memoirs. Wally spent the last 20 years or so of his life drumming for the Lionel Hampton Orchestra. Wally died in September 2010, and Mr. Purdie, whom I've never met but whom Wally had tremendous respect and admiration for, now drums for the Lionel Hampton Orchestra. The story seems to have come full circle.
Vincent is considered an in-valid. Jerome is a valid. Vincent needed Jerome's genes to work at Gattaca.

Because otherwise his blood would be taken as invalid, he switched it with jerome's blood

Vincent is considered an in-valid. Jerome is a valid. Vincent needed Jerome's genes to work at Gattaca. Vincent is now a "borrowed ladder" (a play on words referring to both the structure of an un-coiled DNA strand and the idiom of altitude as social status)
Jerome dies after Vincent goes into space and after he supplies him with more than a lifetimes supply of everything he will need to keep his identity a secret. Jerome goes into the incinerator where Vincent burns all of his skin and hair samples before going to work. He sits in the incinerator and then burns himself to death, sitting in the incinerator with his Olympic silver medal for swimming.
