Marianna Paladi _nfected_ostrich — ** spoiler alert ** I'd expected this book to be about friends growing up in a boarding school, which it was, but it was about so much more than that. The science fiction elements were very intriguing, but I wished for more scientific details. I would have liked to know how some students could do up to three or four donations before "completing" (Ishiguro's unique and suitable word for dying). Were they cloned to have an extra liver, a third kidney? I don't believe so, because I thought the general public was against cloning biologically superior beings (they didn't want to be replaced). But I can't see how someone would live with more than one kidney extracted. Would part of the cornea or the cochlea of one ear count as an organ? This irked me throughout the book - that I never knew which organs Ishiguro referred to...if he referred to any at all. Perhaps he was just skimming over that because he didn't know how it would be possible either. An author like Michael Crichton (one of my favorites) would have explained it in great detail. Crichton is certainly superior to Ishiguro in that sense, but Ishiguro is superior in character development and emotions. That's probably why Never Let Me Go is a "New York Times Notable Book," and Crichton's novels are just "New York Times Bestsellers." The strictly science fiction genre cannot compete to win such distinctive literary awards. That's meant to be sarcastic...I wish they could win. So anyway, this story reminded me of the 2005 movie The Island, a movie I highly recommend if you like this book - both have a protective "world" for the clones to grow up and live in, where physical health is extremely important, although the Hailsham students have a vague idea of what's going to happen to them, while The Island population lives in a far more sinister atmosphere. And in The Island, only rich people pay for clones, while in this book, it seems that the organs go to whoever needs them. The main villain in The Island believes the clones to be soulless, and that is exactly how the world needs to view them in order to accept their organs. But how do the clones live and not revolt, knowing they will die to help someone "more human" than they to live? What would you live for? What's to keep you from killing yourself to deprive society of your useful parts? What would happen to a clone that "deserts" his/her duties as a donor? Is there a strict punishment? What are the laws? So many unanswered questions. Towards the end of the book, Miss Emily explains how the science for cloning evolved so quickly that no one had the time to think ethically about the whole idea: "When the great breakthroughs in science followed one after the other so rapidly, there wasn't time to take stock, to ask sensible questions..." While reading that, I immediately thought of the chaos theoretician, Dr. Malcolm, from Jurassic Park, who had strong doubts about the safety and ethics of cloning dinosaurs. Of course cloning dinosaurs is not the same as cloning people, but it still opens the door for that (and also, the dinosaurs were a grave danger for humans). So I will end with a quote from Dr. Malcolm: "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."
