Value

"'How would you know?' said Ruth. 'How could you possibly know? Your still a carer.'" "'I get to see a lot as a carer. An awful lot.'"(226)

In this conversation Ruth makes it sound as though donating is better that caring. She is almost making fun of Kathy, as if she has not had the experience needed to join in an actual conversation about Donating. While this is partly true, Ruth makes it seem as though, donors are the elite. This illustrates that they don't understand the value of their existence. So, they were "lucky" enough to attend one of the best "schools". This school, however,  succeeded in the goal of teaching them their undeniable fate with out reveling many details or the necessary information to piece together the whole puzzle. This is depressing because, they don't know the life that is being withheld from them. They don't even know that they should fight for more, and should have the right to fight that battle.
