I still can't get past the niggling feeling that this has something to do with the way World War II (or at least the Nazi experimentation) resorted itself in his alternate history. Is this a world where the Holocaust was not made known, and therefore more palatable to the people of England that there be little farms for organ donors?

I am not looking for an answer, but I am pleased that the book made me consider the question of what leads a society to the acceptance of this situation.
