What is a good argument for Never Let me Go?

While
the specific subject of s novel is cloning, the characters experiences and relationships lead
the reader to a more basic question about what constitutes human identity. The author does not
introduce the reader to the original humans from whom the children at Hailsham were cloned, so
we cannot determine if the characters are identical in personality as well as genetic makeup.
Several possible main arguments can be formulated based on Ishiguros central idea. One line of
argumentation concerns nature versus nurture. Depending on the readers interpretation, they
could argue that either nature or nurture is more important. Ishiguro seems to lean toward
nurture, as he emphasizes the role of their upbringing: Hailsham unites the central characters
and provides a unique environment that has positive elements even though it confines them. The
relative lack of autonomy in charting their own paths also raises questions about free will.
Ishiguro suggests that the three friends exercise free will in their affectionate relationships
with each other and their efforts to use the system to their benefit. Even though they are wrong
about the exception for couples, Kathy and Tommy take definite steps toward escaping their
fate.
