unwind discussion

        The discussion went well for our group in terms of participation because everyone participated. The first topic was why would Connor save Lev if Lev wanted to be unwound. He views it as a holy mission and his parts will help people around the world. Lev shows his determination to be sacrificed by biting Connor's arm who is trying to save him. The book later explains that Connor is guilty about all the deaths he's caused with the freeway incident, so he wants to do something good. This explanation does not satisfy because Connor is on the run. He is supposed to be on survival mode. If I was him, I would leave him be.
        On that same incident above, Pastor Dan tells Lev to run when the latter almost reaches the car. Why didn't Pastor Dan tell him the truth about being a tithe rather than wait until the last minute. If Dan had told Lev the truth before, Lev could plan his escape earlier.    
        Speaking of Lev, he seems to love being a tithe which is essentially the same as an unwind. This is because their society has made unwinding sound okay. They keep telling people that being unwound does not mean you die. I believe dying is better than being used as parts. They also make brochures for harvest camp, where unwinding takes place. They make the place sound like a vacation resort.
        There was also a mention of two quotes,"You can't change human nature without changing the laws" and "You can't change laws without changing human nature". Not much of a debate came up over this. We all agreed that the former was correct because the law is above all individuals.
        An interesting fact that came up, but was irrelevant to the plot was that the trucker's arm was actually that of an unwind's. It still performed tricks that the trucker couldn't before he got that arm and he says it's the muscle memory. This is creepy in that an arm can still remember tricks even after the original owner is terminated. Those were the main topics of the discussion.
