Give a title, get an electronic hug!

Hi everyone!

Last November, I particpated in NaNoWriMo (that's National Novel Writing Month --- go to nanowrimo.com to check it out!) and I completed the contest! A major achievement, as I've always wanted to write a novel, but could never get longer than a short story!
I'm still editing and working out the kinks, but there's one thing that is MAJORLY bothering me:

I HAVE NO TITLE.

I completely SUCK at titles. I was mulling it over today, when I realized that I don't need to think of a title on my own --- I can turn to the awesome, creative people on MFP!

So, help me out! It's a sci-fi Pygmalion story (so it's going to sound stupid.... forgive me) about an alternate future, wherein every living American has an 'organ clone' -- a non-living creation that is biologically identical to them that is harvested should they ever have a medical need. The main character is named Stanley Kuppick -- he is a widower with a 5-year-old daughter who was recently employed by an Organ Bank (where the clones are stored) as a security officer. While working there, he discovers that the clone of his dead wife was never discarded. An emotionally fragile man, he becomes obsessed with the clone and decides to steal it from the Organ Bank and try to animate it.
Long story short, he succeeds in doing so after much planning, and falls completely off the deep end. The clone can move and mimick speech, but is incapable of thought. It can only echo human movements and speech, which Stanley (in his delusion) doesn't realize. Stanley's actions are eventually discovered, the clone is destroyed and he winds up in a mental institution.

So -- title away if you can! All suggestions are welcome, comical or otherwise! Because I am running on empty, lol!
