Never Let Me Go

That’s the title of a haunting book by Kasuo Ishiguro. I mentioned it here. I see that it’s cropped up again on a couple of blogs in the last week. First, Jean Kavez mentioned it over at Normblog, and now Philip Ball mentions it over at Homunculus. My take on it was the same as that of Ball. It’s not really about science and cloning at all. It’s about what it means to be alive and fully human. It is an astounding piece of writing. If you haven’t read it , then you should.
