Most of the characters in Never Let Me Go are clones designed to become "donors"––that is, organ donors. When they reach young adulthood, they are forced to begin a series of organ donations that will eventually kill them.

A clone who acts as a nurse and companion to other clones who are undergoing their donations. Clones become carers through an application process; it is unclear whether being a carer actually results in deferring donations.
