Yeah, I don't think it was ever supposed to portray what was going on as the most feasible way to do things. It was more about what it made you think/feel. A lot of people (and I would agree) say that it's not so much about cloning as it is about mortality. Or, as you say, exploitation. Or (and I agree with this, too) childhood, and how few people are really honest with children about life and what's really going to happen to them. (I mean... Look at the little subplot with Ms. Lucy, why she was fired, etc.)

Another interesting thing is that it didn't take place in the future. It took place in an alternate timeline where we had cloning figured out in the 50s. And I think there are a lot of ethical issues that got "sorted out" in the mid 20th century that we're only just not revisiting and realize that we might have gotten some things wrong.
