Ishiguro, K. 2005, Never Let Me Go, Faber and Faber, UK.
Never Let Me Go makes us aware of the ethical implications technology can have. If a technology can have such a positive affect on one section of society, does that justify the misery of another? In this world it appears as if what is viewed as technology has become more human than the humans, the clones are capable of love and friendship and the humans are easily able to use them for body parts. This made me think of the ways humans are becoming more and more computerised, with technology everywhere does that leave us in danger of becoming just like it? It also raises the idea of what it means to be human and how far away technology is from becoming human. Already technology can make connections and assumptions, similar to the human thought-process which has come to define life.
