"The basic idea behind the possibles theory was simple, and didn't provoke much dispute. It went something like this. Since each of us was copied at some point from a normal person, there must be, for each of us, somewhere out there, a model getting on with his or her life. (page 139)
I just had an "aha! moment" and I felt the need to blog about it. So, my last blog was about the porn magazines and I was really curious as to why Kathy was so curious about the faces of the individuals on the people in the magazines. Well, in this chapter we find out that they are clones from other people and they sometimes look for "possibles" that may be the person they were cloned from. So, I think that Kathy was searching for her possible clone in the magazines. Personally, I think the whole clone thing is really bizarre. If in fact they are clones, then this just proves that these people like Kathy, Ruth, and Tommy can't have souls. They are just beings with organs and maybe this is why they can't have children. I'm starting to get really curious as to what is going on and I really just want to be able to finish this book so everything will make sense for once!
great analysis! I certainly hadn't made that connection at this point.
