Never Let Me Go

The book Never Let Me Go is the type of book that raises a lot of questions right away, then takes its time answering them. It wasn't until the last reading assignment that I really figured out what the donations were. Their guardians are really secretive about a lot of things, Miss Lucy finally breaks out and tells them that they're never going to grow old because they will have to donate their vital organs. It's nice that they call them donations, implying it is something that they chose, when really it's what they were created for. To be honest though, the students really don't seem as troubled by the thought as I would think they should be. Yes, they've grown up with the idea, but you would think the fact that they were going to be slowly killed so that their organs could be harvested would upset them a little bit more than it appears to. Miss Lucy does specifically say that the students were created, whether or not they are clones, I'm not sure but it's definitely a possibility. I also wonder about those who go through donations that aren't Hailsham students. Are they created too, and if so, why aren't they raised the same as those from the school?
