If a clone with an independent consciousness will arrange the entire life trajectory from the moment of birth, will it be acceptable in their subjective consciousness? Will they rebel against their fate? Then read the novel "Don't Let Me Go" by the Nobel Prize-winning Writer kazuo Ishiguro, a Japanese-British writer.
The novel tells the life experiences of a group of clones and their stories as human organ donors. Take you to the life of a clone, feel the emotions of a clone, and realize the helplessness of a clone being arranged for the entire life trajectory. It is not difficult for us to see that the wanton taking of the organs of human cloning is a violation of the dignity of human beings and a contempt for the lives of clones. Since we humans can make these thinking, conscious, human clones with all the abilities of human beings exist through technology, treat these beings well, fear these beings, and thus treat them equally, and do not shackle these beings with narrow ideas where human interests are paramount.
Cathy is a thirty-one-year-old clone who has been working as a caregiver for a year. The job is lonely and tiring, and Cathy is relying on her patience and energy to take care of one "donor" after another. The point of interpretation is to look after clones who donate their organs to the original human beings. Until she meets Ruth and Tommy, two friends who grew up together, Cathy is given the right to care for them both. It was in this situation that the three friends got together again.

Children have no parents, and their parents are replaced by guardians who accompany them at school. Each of them received a good education in the school, and the school paid special attention to the education of poetry and art. The school holds events similar to exhibitions and auctions throughout the year. Exhibit and auction the paintings, sculptures, or other creative things that students have depicted. The best of these works will be taken away by a mysterious character "Madame". She put these works in her gallery to show the world that human cloning is intentional. Because these creations have to be created with the heart. Therefore, "creativity" is extremely important to these clone students.
Tommy is a very grumpy boy whose bad temper comes from the ridicule and teasing of his classmates.

But Ruth's appearance destroys their relationship as a couple. Cathy voluntarily withdrew in order to protect her friendship with Ruth. Completed Ruth and Tommy. And Tommy, due to various misunderstandings, was overthrown by Cathy's side. Maybe the feelings between them went wrong in the first place. All three of them later became caregivers, but Ruth and Tommy didn't follow through and became "donors" too early.
Ruth died without support after the second donation. Before she died, he told Cathy a secret: as long as two people were truly in love, they could go to Miss Emily to apply for a postponement of donation. She genuinely hoped that Cathy and Tommy would try to postpone donations, even for three to five years.
After Ruth, Cathy begins to search for Miss Emily in order to postpone Tommy's re-donation. But the answer is that the secret is a lie. The power of this rumor was so great that all the clones believed in this impossible secret.
Two people in love cannot change their fate that has already been planned. Tommy finally accepted his fourth donation and left the world under Cathy's watchful eye. Fate cannot be changed, and love dies out in Cathy step by step into the sea.
