"We're modeled from trash...Do you think she'd have talked to us like that if she'd have talked to us like that if she'd known what we really were?" page 166

I think the clones are symbols for different types of oppressed people.  I think the clones represent a microcosm of inequality around the world.  The world to this day is home to many different oppressed people.  Some countries will and do relentlessly persecute dissidents, and often kill them, without remorse.  I can draw a specific analogy between the clones and real people.  Millions of young children are being forced to do harsh, manual labor, intended for men.  Even to fully grown men the work some children across the world are forced into is slave labor.  In the case of the clones, their entire life purpose is to provide their vital organs to benefit other people.  It is innately wrong, I believe, to make people suffer for the gain of others.  Children across the world work in harsh, squalid conditions for little or nothing so that some one can benefit off of their labor.  The clones are brought into existent to be harvested like animals, so that other human beings can benefit.
