"'What they were saying was that some Hailsham students in the past, in special circumstances, had managed to get a deferral" (153). Well this is a big part of the rising action in the plot. Chrissie said this to Ruth in the car on the way to Norfolk. Apparently, if there is a couple, from Hailsham, and they are truly in love, they they can wait a while before donating. No. I'm going to predict right here and now that this isn't true. With they amount of organ donations needed in our world, I'm betting that theirs isn't any different. So why would they let two people wait a few years? Here's my reasoning: 1) They're donors. It's what they were made to do and it's they're job. 2) Why would people care if they're in love? To others, because they're clones, they're not capable of loving each other. I think that this is just a dream, and I don't think that it will work out.
