I don’t think he really succeeds on that score. The circumstances of their lives aren’t fleshed out enough to know why their internal policeman is so powerful. Where there is oppression, there is always resistance of some kind. Apart from Tommy’s tantrums, we see nothing. I did have a hard time suspending disbelief. There were many clone centers and yet there are no stories or accounts of anyone questioning their situation. If the clones really were just as human as the non-clones, then the urge for freedom would have found a crack to push through.(less)
