We really are real! The external conflict to prove that clones are people too

"Together, we became a small but very coal movement, and we challenged the entire way the donations programme was being run." Ms. Emily Pg 261
At the end of the novel we discover that the students of Hailsham and other academies like it were comprised of kids who are clones created specifically for the purpose of donating organs for other people in need. We also learn that prior to and after the existence of these institutions everyone simply treated them as nothing more than tools of medicine. However, a group of people (e.g. the guardians, Ms. Emily, and Madame) believed this was absolutely wrong, and they created this school to prove that they were real people with real, human emotions who deserved to be treated well. In order to prove this they had the kids do projects such as art and poetry and held big events to show people that they did in fact have souls. If they didn't how could they create such things? So though the mystery of the Gallery is solved! For awhile this appeared to be working. The advocates for fair treatment of the clones were winning! But then when a scientist attempted to make super humans with supreme abilities, people got scared and stop supporting the movement. This conflict between establishments like Hailsham and the rest of society provides not only base for this whole novel but also a plethora of difficult social issues that I believe the world isn't facing purposely. Deep down I think these people knew that what they were doing is inhumane but if you refuse to face it then you can't feel guilty for it. I truly believe that was the case here, and I think it's unfortunate society ended up winning the war on this one.
