Why did Jerome commit suicide at the end of Gattaca?
Jerome had failed previously in committing suicide. He was perfect genetically and his family had high expectations for him. His genetic material was second to none. However, despite his genetic advantages, he took second place in a high profile swimming match. This event prompted him to step in front of a moving vehicle and attempt suicide. He was left crippled and despondent. Meeting Vincent gave him a new lease on life; a purpose. His genetic advantage could be passed on to someone else. In essence, Vincent's success was the ultimate embodiment of Jerome's genetic advantage. Once Vincent succeeds in getting onto the Titan mission, he became concerned about how this would affect Jerome. Jerome would be left alone for 1 year. In the end, Jerome felt that it was time to complete what he had started long ago. His life's potential and future goals were passed onto Vincent to carry on and Jerome felt he wasn't needed any longer. He left enough genetic material for Vincent to use when he returned from his Titan mission and completed his suicide.
