What was a little off about tom house of the scorpion?

The story takes place in a dystopian future where cloning is commonplace. Tom, the main character, is a clone created to be a source of organs for his wealthy "owner," Mr. Bradford. As a clone, Tom lacks basic human rights and privileges and is treated as mere property. While the cloning and organ harvesting depicted in the novel present ethical implications and social commentary, one aspect that may seem off to some readers is the absence of significant societal resistance or backlash. Despite the oppressive nature of the cloning practices, the world seems almost complacently accepting of this system, which may strike some readers as unrealistic given potential moral concerns and power dynamics. Readers might expect greater societal opposition, protests, or ethical debates. Additionally, the novel delves into themes of identity, exploitation, and compassion but leaves certain details or motivations about characters unexplored, creating some gaps in understanding certain actions or thought processes of some characters.
