    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "In this paper I will consider the ethics of cloning as it occurs in Kazuo Ishiguro’s dystopian novel \nNever Let Me Go\n from the standpoint of a number of moral theories – consequentialism, natural law theory, Kantian moral theory, rights based theory, and virtue ethics. In light of the moral theories, I will develop an analysis for why cloning-for-biomedical-research as outlined in the 2002 document \nHuman Cloning and Human Dignity \nby the President’s Council on Bioethics is morally permissible, while the cloning-based donation program in the novel is morally impermissible.",
