  If there's merit, it should be added to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Island_(2005_film)#Copyright_infringement_lawsuit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Island_(2005_film)#Copyrig.... By early 2000's this idea isn't that novel honestly. When it comes to movies what is truly novel anyways?

    Good idea. I'm certainly not the first to draw the comparison.

    Gotta say, when I saw “The Island” I thought “This reminds me a heck of a lot of Spares.” Only, you know, much less interesting and hard-hitting.

  Published in 1997? The idea had been around for several decades in literature at that point.

    Not surprising. I just happened to have read the Robin Cook one.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parts:_The_Clonus_Horror https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parts:_The_Clonus_Horror Fun fact: I had a substitute teacher in school who spent the whole period arguing with the class about how it was inevitable whole people would be cloned for organ transplants. Ever since I found out about Never Let Me Go, I've been wondering where he got the idea.
