How does Never Let Me Go show that fiction and bioethics influence each other?

"Introduction In the novel Never Let Me Go (2005) by Nobel Prize winner Kazuo Ishiguro , cloned human beings who are genetically identical to their non-cloned counterparts are used by the government as organ donors. These clones feel, act, and think just as regular human beings but do not have equal rights in their society because they do not meet the exact requirements for ‘humanness’. The (bio)ethical questions that this example raises show how fiction and bioethics interact multi-directionally: bioethics is not only a source of inspiration for writers, but fiction can also be useful for (bio)ethical practice. Fiction and cultural imagination, in general, are also par excellence places where possible answers to bio(ethical) dilemmas can be explored."
