What similarities can be drawn between Never Let Me Go and The Stranger by Albert Camus?

One
similarity between The Stranger by Albert Camus and
byis that both books explore morality in relation to human lives.

In the
first chapter of The Stranger, theMeursault is dealing with the death of
his late mother. He is apathetic to her death overall, which draws concern from others related
to his morality. When he later kills another man and is sentenced to death, this seems to
confirm the suspicion that his inability to grieve for his mother was linked to an overall
apathy towards human life and ultimately homicide.

In Never Let Me
Go
, Kathy and her friends at her boarding school are clones who were created to
involuntarily donate their organs for medical procedures.The book follows Kathy and other clones
to reveal their inherent humanity and the cruelty of ending their lives, even if it might mean
saving another. In this way, it explores whether scientific and medical progress is worth
pursuing if it means we lose respect for human lives.
