The plot back in the 60's was that people were grown specifically for
organ harvesting. That seems to be the plot of this movie.

It's silly, and obsolete, and in the half century since then no one

      probably better to actually see a movie before discussing it's content.
this movie is as much about organ harvesting as Bicycle Thieves is about stealing bicycles nt - Analog Scott 19:17:18 11/28/10 (3)
