Please answer this question on Never Let Me Goby Kazuo Ishiguro: The teacher Lucy Wainright wanted to make the children more aware of the future...

The
issue that the adults and the children confronted in different ways was when and how the clone
children would be prepared for their ultimate purpose. It can be argued that the point at which
a clone learned of their identity and purpose would be the point when their childhood ended. It
can also be argued that for parents and other adult caregivers, the process of raising children
always involves lying to them about crucial existential matters, including the nature of
mortality. From Lucys perspective, education and honesty were more important in the childrens
formation. To Emily, providing some degree of innocence would shield the children for as long as
possible. However, both women deluded themselves into believing that these actions would
ultimately make a difference. More than helping the children, each was assuaging her own guilty
conscience over being complicit in guiding them toward the ultimate fate.
