I liked it.
It's not quite clear to me what Evelyn's work actually is. Something with clones, obviously, but it's not clear what the clones are supposed to be for. Something more than organ donation if bone breaks have to be the same and conditioning is a thing.
It seems to take Martine an extraordinarily long time to figure out that Evelyn would be fine with clones being killed inside a lab setting, and in fact, had done it herself numerous times. Seeing Martine as an actual person with full autonomy was always going to be incompatible with her worldview that clones were things to be used and discarded.
The ending was inevitable and still chilling.
