The book raises the issue of illicit medical practices like organ harvesting. I like that it did this because it is a rare issue

For me, one of the most important topics is human indentity and morality. What makes someone human? Is it okay to create a human-like creature, but do not recognise it as human, to exploit them? Are clones human?

I think this book made me see cloning from a whole different point of view. There were legal and ethical issues highlighted. Human rights, and what the major factor behind cloning is. I also considered the fact cloning could be just for organ harvesting which is crude.

The story raises moral and ethical rationale behind human actions and reactions. It also raises concerns about the identity of clones.
I don't really believe in clones, and so I don't have much else to say.
