Casia's parents struggle with following the rules imposed upon them by their society. In the book, we see her father get in trouble for misplacing her grandfather's cell tissue. Later we find out that he deliberately failed to follow rules and instead honored his father's request to dispose of them. He understood his father's wish to die with dignity and not to give the society the ability to bring him back against his will. Her mother also has a hard time following the rules relating to her job and struggles with giving a true report of what she has found on her trip. Both of her parents seem terrified of society and the consequences of not following the rules but are willing to break them for their families.
