My own opinion is that the story doesn't support this, as once the donation cycle starts the clone is on a fast track to completion, it seems, and most recipients won't require a lot of organs. Also, the point is made about how many diseases have been conquered by use of clone donors and not everyone's got a clone (as Dazrin pointed out above).
But you're saying that has recalled to me that the clones seem to understand on some level that they've been cloned from human "trash," so to speak, in the morality of the universe. Whores, thieves, and so forth. Yet another passing suggestion of underlying issues, since it shows that cloning, while accepted, is still found to be somewhat morally dubious. "Good people" don't have clones and the dross of humanity can be assumed to have either compromised souls or have lost them, I suppose.
Since the clones seem to have a good interior understanding of their situation even when not openly acknowledged, I have no reason to suspect that they've got this wrong. Ruth's "possible" was seen as wishful thinking, but that's the point of "wishful."
