The episode, "Reality Check" from the the television series This American Life, is all about people who are unable to give up what they have lost. In the episode we see that society judges individuals, even without fully understanding their situation. For example, a man clones his beloved bull named chance in hopes of not having to lose his companion forever. He brings his bull back to life in a way and names the new animal Second Chance. However, he has to learn to deal with the fact that his old bull is gone because the cloned bull is rapid and violent--nothing like Chance. We hear other people's stories as well, but the theme is consistent.
