If anyone is just joining and doesn't know what country to choose, Japan is pretty lonely!
I agree with Kerri about whether they were donating to their personal clones or to anyone in general. We both thought it was possible that everyone in normal society had a clone, up until Ruth was upset because it turned out the woman wasn't her "possible". Ruth says that her possible couldn't work at an office because clones were made from "trash" drug addicts and prisoners and such.

I've been trying to decide between several countries of my heritage, but ultimately I feel bad just going with one of them. So, I chose to be completely random and choose Japan!Tori H.

I feel the opposite of many of the comments. I really liked how the story ended. (Although I do agree that Charlie should have been discussed more throughout the book). I struggled with the story and writing style up until it was revealed there were other Jasons. That is when I started to enjoy this story. The first three quarters of this book were way too predictable. I hated that Jason was supposed to be a super intelligent scientist, and yet I always felt like I was one step ahead of him. One of the biggest problems I have is that Jason2's motivation at the end was that the idea of having a relationship with Daniela had always haunted him. Yet, when he left his world his version of Daniela was alive and well and not in any serious relationship with anyone else. Why didn't Jason2 just invent the box and then go find his Daniela? When we get Jason2's perspective of his life in Jason9's place, he tells Daniela that he knows that this version of their life is the best version of their lives. So I assumed that Jason2 sought out a world where Jason is the happiest. That makes more sense to me than, he just wanted to be in a relationship with Daniela.
