In Kazuo Ishiguro's haunting and important novel, cloned children grow up to fulfill a single purpose: to donate their organs for the benefit of others. Ishiguro poses many questions about the path of scientific progress, its purpose and rationale, as well as its potential choices and consequences. Never Let Me Go explores the nature of the human soul and its role as the essential characteristic of being human. Bookclub-in-a-Box explores the moral and ethical dilemmas of these ideas. In addition, the guide takes a fascinating look at the link between Ishiguro and Joseph Conrad and how they each perceive the darkness of the human heart and soul.
