From what I've heard there was also an ulterior motive to the intercision, which was to gather the energy that the severing produced so the magesterium could get to other worlds. Not sure of the exact details though, since I haven't read any of the books...
I heard about what happens to the second boy from the friends I saw the movie with. So even someone who appeared 'good' (Azrael) wasn't really. On the one hand we have religion without conscience and on the other hand, science without conscience, and each thinks it's doing the best thing for its victims (the kids).
My favorite scene was the one in the very beginning -- the wild kids running and running with their animals... It sort of caused me to look at my kitties a little differently.
