Do medical doctors have a good chance of becoming a NASA astronaut?

Quite a few M.D.'s have qualified and flown as NASA Mission Specialists (Astronauts are military flight officers, not doctors) over the years that the Space Program has been in existence. However, they are typically specialists in physiology unique to space travel, or are individuals with multiple doctorates (medicine, astrophysics, etc.). Just being an M.D. isn't good enough - you have to possess qualifications that are germane to an upcoming NASA mission (Aerosopace medicine), and that typically eliminates most M.D.'s unless they're qualified in other areas.

In the movie Gattaca why was Vincent pretending to be Jerome Morrow?
In the movie "Gattaca" it is common for parents to engineer their children before birth and have them possess whatever favorable characteristics they favor, such as physical stamina or mental stability. Vncent was NOT engineered this way, but rather conceived naturally by his parents. He was born with a high probability of developing heart defects as a result (passed on genetically, we assume), and is seen as too imperfect to really succeed in such a society of perfect beings unlike himself. He buys Jerome's identity so that when screened he will appear to be perfect and will in turn have a chance at becoming an astronaut as he has always dreamed.

You are dating this girl and you think you love her and you are really good together the only problem is she is Mormon and im not and you are on your way to becoming a doctor you dont know what to do?
If she is an active member of the LDS church, there is a good chance that she is only willing to marry or have a serious relationship with other members of the church, however, this might not be true, you'd have to ask her. If she is only willing to be serious with members of the church, talk to the missionaries with her and see how you feel about the church - who knows, you might like it! but if not, don't feel pressured to join a religion just for a girl. I guess I dont see what is wrong with you on your way to becoming a doctor, except that medical school takes a lot of time and energy and could put a strain on your relationship. Mormons can date doctors, marry doctors, and be doctors.
