Cloning can be interpreted from numerous perspectives. Some may argue that it is beneficial, while others may claim that it “only satisfies the selfish interest of a creation” (Pearson 3). Cloning shows the harshness that some are capable of putting in because of the end results. Most clones don't live that long, yet they are scrutinized as if they were a freak of nature as some do not consider them human. Society tends to judge people and things based on appearances rather than how things really are. However, clones inherit the same genes as the individuals into which they are cloned, thus being original regardless of artificiality (Aurelia 2). In Never Let Me Go, the students' originality and creativity are shown primarily through art lessons because their works are collected by Madame and Miss Emily in Hailsham. The reason behind having Hailsham is to provide more comfort to the clones while they are ready to be taken apart little by little (Ishiguro 261). However, cloning still doesn't seem reasonable, no matter how much effort is made to make them comfortable. As the topic of cloning becomes more and more controversial, everyone seems to have their own contribution
