I just saw the movie The Island after reading reviews. Some parts were gross 
(not unexpected) but it I felt it made a few important points, quite apart from the whole immorality of cloning, organ harvesting etc…
Point 1. Those involved were callous about the whole thing, absolutely no feeling at all that it might be unethical. They had become brutalised like the Nazi doctors in WWII.
Point 2 The Director (the top guy of the operation) though he was doing something wonderful, he was helping people to live!
Point 3 The clones were simply ‘products’ to be used.
Point 4 The ‘sponsors’ weren’t concerned with the ethics. “I would do anything to live.”
Point 5 Did everyone get the comparison between ‘winning the lottery to go the Island’ and the Nazi’s having the gas chamber disguised as a shower room to allay fears?
Now bioethicists are suggesting a redefinition of death so that people who are diagnosed PVS etc can be legally harvested when their organs are needed.
It gets creepier by the day
