What is the clones idea of why they would like to meet their possibles?

The clones’ obsession with finding their originals reveals a deep-seated belief in fate and predestination––after all, finding one’s original is only meaningful if the clones are in some way bound to a fate. Their mentality on issues of free will is consistent with their lives: they are bred solely for the purpose of organ donation, and it makes sense that they might feel that other parts of life––their personalities, their futures––are similarly out of their control.
