Thanks, Amy! I didn't know there would be a movie of NLMG until you mentioned it on Goodreads.

I'm still not convinced the kids aren't deliberately brain-damaged. Their passivity, especially that of Tommy, seems too extreme to be explained by mere indoctrination. Plus, the question in the wider society of whether the kids have "souls" seems crazy if it's only because they are clones. (That silly idea shows up in bad SF, but in this world? C'mon.) But, maybe I'm wrong.
