Miss Lucy's departure

The article in current form says, "The following day this teacher is 'no longer working at Hailsham'. It is not revealed whether she was fired or if something more sinister happened to her."

I think it is a mistake to suspect any foul play in the disappearance of Miss Lucy. I have only seen the movie, not read the book, but clearly this is not Michael Crichton's "Coma": what goes on at Hailsham, and in the entire organ donation program, is clearly above board and an accepted national policy, not covert or underhanded. This reality is, in fact, what gives the story such power!

Aside from this fact, it should be considered a), that the students, once they come of age, are indeed fully informed of their "purpose" in life, and their inevitable fate, and b), that of all the institutions involved in the program, Hailsham was apparently the only one to question the ethics of the donor program.

FYI, I haven't made the edit because I haven't read the book. Convit (talk) 01:51, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
