    1. Vincent's mother chose to conceive him naturally rather than through genetic selection, so at birth the nurse listed his high probabilities for various neurological and heart conditions based on his genetics, giving him a life expectancy of just 30.2 years. 2. Upon hearing his short life expectancy, Vincent's father objected to just calling him "Anton" and insisted on also giving him the name "Vincent" instead. 3. Vincent's mother had faith that despite his genetic makeup, he would accomplish something in his life.

    VINCENT (VOICE OVER)



    

    They used to say that a child conceived in love has a greater chance
    of happiness.

    They don't say that anymore.

    I never understand what possessed my mother to put her faith in


    God's hand
    rather than those of her local geneticist. 1. (00:09:26)

    Ten fingers, ten toes, that's all that used to matter. Not now.

    Now only seconds old, the exact time and cause of my death was
    already known.
    

    NURSE:


    Neurological condition, 60% probability. Manic depression, 42%


    probability. Attention deficit disorder, 89% probability. Heart disorder...
    99% probability. Early fatal potential. Life expectancy, 30.2 years.
    

    FATHER: 

    30 years?!
    
 2. (00:09:47)
    NURSE:
    The name for the certificate?

    

    MOTHER:
    Anton.


    FATHER:
    No! Vincent Anton. Yeah. That's a good name.

    

    MOTHER:

    l know he'll do something.


    You'll do something.
