The society discounts personal drive as a factor of success, instead relying on genetic code to assess ability.
The main storyline is about an assumed identity, which overlaps with gaslighting.

characters have their genetic codes read secretly on multiple occasions, one time for romantic reasons. at another point, a character is watched by the police intensively, but not illegally.

No, but worth noting that during an argument, Vincent grabs Irene and prevents her from leaving, even though she says "Don't touch me!"

There is a scene where Vincent's father belittles Vincent's dream of becoming a pilot, and says he'll only amount to a janitor. Certainly, Vincent feels that his parents never supported him, and always favored his brother. Whether it amounts to abuse is open to interpretation IMO.

Not traditional body dismorphia. However the main point of the movie is a man undergoes extensive treatment to look like someone else.

Eugene could be interpreted as queer-coded, but he is not explicitly stated to be attracted to men. He does, however, attempt suicide before the events of the film and actually commits suicide in the end.

Disabled people are seen as inferior and not able to contribute to society (as with Jerome, who was ostracized after becoming paralyzed). There is also genetic modification to make people less likely to have genetic diseases and in general whiter (lighter skin, blue eyes, straight/wavy hair, etc).

I'd say the ending is bittersweet, happy for some but quite literally as bad as it gets for Jerome.

Blood is frequently shown throughout the movie as a way to determine genetic information. At one point, a character is murdered and is shown lying in a pool of blood. Later, an autopsy is shown, with the deceased’s head cut to reveal the brain.
