In the dystopian novel, Never Let Me Go, by Kazuo Ishiguro, humans have discovered
a way to clone themselves for medical reasons. The medical reasons include, raising the clones
and then harvesting them for organs later on in life. The actual humans used the clones for this
even though the clones and humans were exactly the same emotions and all. This brings up a
great question as to why they did this. If they felt emotions and were self-aware, why did they
kill them? In the book, to be human, means that one was not born in a laboratory.
In the novel, the only real difference between the humans and clones are just that they were not
born the traditional way, being born by woman. Thats what each of you [were] created to do
youre not even like me, even as a guardian at Hailsham, whose goal is to prove that they are
just like humans, Miss Lucy treats them as they are different. She interacts with the students and
they adore her as well because she has always been the nicest towards them, in observing them
during class she would know through their creativity, they do act just like humans.
