DYSTOPIA #9
Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro

A sad dystopia of utiliarianism taken to its logical conclusion, to the creation of clones to provide the raw materials for medical experiments and operations, and their fate if they are raised not in a factory but in a boarding school setting.  Explores with delicacy and deep feeling the relations between children raised together and the nature of friendship backed by a morally horrendous premise.
