Blog Assignment # 7

In the book Never Let Me Go, Kazuo Ishiguro discusses the topic of cloning. He not only discusses colones, but the morals of it. In the book we are faced with a group of school children who live in a boarding school. These children learn and live there. We are not directly aware of what is going on in this school but come to find out they are all clones. They live there and are raised for the harvesting of their vital organs. In the book we see a scene when they have all grown up and went back to go and visit the old head of the school. This is a vital scene it why there organs are harvested from them. The author writes, "your art would reveal what you were like. What you were like inside...We took your away away because we thought it would reveal your souls. Or to put it more finely to prove you had souls at all"(Ishiguro 260). This shows why people took there organs. They didnt believe that these clones were real people. Well in fact they were just as human as anyone else. They were exact clones of someone else. This book challenges the morals of cloning. To me it describes why people should not try and play god and dabble in cloning.
