Questions

"That was three days after her second donations, when they finally let me in to see her...it had become obvious to me...she wasn't going to make it."(235)

Ruth's death got me think of details of clone history and why this area is so vague ing the book. I do understand that Ishiguro left this out for a reason. Most probably, he wanted to add to the suspense of the Questions that Kathy was dealing with through the book. But I always found my self wanting to more details, and explanation. Again, it probably would not have added much to the book. But questions like, how were they born? Why, specifically were they designed from "trash" and not from they people who needed them, to be more of a match? What were the other schools like? Just how terrible were they to the clones? I mean, the teachers still had to keep them healthy for their future donations.
