No violence, but loud domestic fights can be heard through walls in some parts of the film.

The main characters are told that they are "special" when they're children, but this special trait is that they will grow up to donate their organs. They are not told this until one teacher speaks up, who is promptly fired.

It's not onscreen, but a girl has a bandage over one of her eyes and it's heavily implied it was taken as one of her donations.

Not explicitly described as torture, but the clones are forced to live without vital parts of themselves during the donation process and it can be perceived as it. Ruth describes a rumor that after a clone dies, they are hooked up to a machine and kept conscious until every part of them is harvested; which can also be perceived as torture. Tommy describes other clone raising sites rumored as "battery farms"

A main character is extremely weakened and cannot walk without becoming winded, causing her to be gasping for air frequently later in the movie.

The entire point of the movie is the main and most background characters are being raised to donate their vital organs. There are many depictions of post-amputations (People in the background missing legs, eyes, etc.) and there is a scene where one of the main characters has an organ removed and dies onscreen.

No child dies while they are young, but the main characters start as children and die/are implied to die in the end. There are stories about children dying, but they aren't real characters and are used as a scare tactic to keep real kids in line.

A girl who is in a monogamous relationship kisses another girl (who is single), and I didn't understand if the kiss was on her cheek or on the corner of her mouth.

An intravenous port on the back of the hand is shown in a couple of scenes, and one time a big syringe, but I never saw any explicit needles.

It is said and shown that if a person doesn't want to survive a medical procedure, they probably won't.

He's not explicitly stated to be mentally ill, but Tommy can be perceived as autistic and accidentally strikes Kathy during an outburst. Kathy forgives him later on and they become friends, so it isn't a focal point of the film.
