Never let me go is admittedly somewhat depressing, - but one of the best novels of the new millenium, and such good food for thought! Where indeed could genetic engineering take us. an you thought Gattica was disturbing?
Never Let Me Go is highly recommended Threeb. I suggested it some months ago and Binkie mentioned she'd put in a reserve request as a result of my recommendation at her local public library.
Glad you appreciated it Binkie. Note the careful omission of the word 'enjoyed.' Yes, it was disturbing, but it certainly honed my values. That being said, as the wife of a Type ! diabetic, I'm a big fan of genetic eingineering - all the current analogs of insulin around today have been genetically tinkered and are much improved as a result. If it weren't for the likes of Genentech, we'd not be such a happy family today.
So, off to post in the 'so long' thread, goodnight all.
