Why does everyone hate clones? Throughout the beginning of this story I was slightly confused why Matt wasn't allowed to show himself to anyone outside, or leave the house. When Celia talked about him being "loaned" I clued in that he was the embryo that Eduardo planted inside the cow, the special one that he did not "make stupid". This still didn't answer the question I developed later on, why does everyone hate clones? Everyone treated him equally as a human being until they saw some tattoo on his foot that deciphered human from clone, then they treated him like trash, literally. Rosa the person who was "taking care" of him in his room, ended up hardly feeding him, making fun of him, and abusing him. She even thought he was so much like an animal she took away his waste bucket and covered the floor in saw dust. This made me think, he looks like a human, inside in out, he acts like a human, he is just exactly identical to another human, and he was treated as a human until a tattoo on his foot singled him out. I have noticed that a select few people don't care that he is a clone, such as Maria, and Celia. If no one noticed the tattoo on his foot he would have been treated the same by everyone. So why do they have to single him out?
