    GUIDE QUESTIONS TO THE SHORT FILM “99 Balloons”


    After watching the short film in class, answer the following questions:
    1. What message is the short film trying to relay?
    2. Eliot has Trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome), a condition caused by an error in cell division or a
    meiotic disjunction. He was not expected to survive his birth, more so, to live for 99 days. Should
    he be given the same respect as other “normal” newborns and infants? -- knowing very well that he
    will not be a productive member of society in the future. Why? Defend your answer.
    3. Fr. O’Rourke defined a human person as a being with a radical capacity for embodied intelligent
    freedom. How can we relate and explain these three terms -embodied, intelligent, freedom- to
    Eliot?
    4. Write down your own personal reflections about the short film.
