Do you mean people bred for the sole purpose of harvesting? OMG
The title is something like best friends or I’ll always be there for you…

Never Let Me Go? It’s a contemporary novel about people being bred (actually cloned) for the purpose of organ donation. Though they aren’t raised with lower IQs, just kept naïve.
The book is NeverLet Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. It was made into a movie released last fall.
The people in the book are not low IQ but rather kept in a “school” that isolates them from anything outside their community. It’s a great, although creepy, read.
Yes, it’s Never Let Me Go. Thanks all!
See The Island, and; Parts, the Clonus Horror!
@Trillian has just named the movie I was thinking of, The Island. It has the same theme of people being raised to supply replacement parts, although low IQ is not a factor. I’d categorize that film as one of the many that are adequately entertaining without being very good, worth a Netflix rental but not the price of tickets at a theater.
On the other hand, Parts, the Clonus Horror was redone as an MST3K, much better the second time around.
I read something similar (perhaps derivative?) titled Replication: The Jason Experiment by Jill Williamson. All the clones were of the same person.
The books is “Never Let Me Go”... meh.. better late than never… or perhaps not.
