I want to write a novel...titled Hardy (please read)?

It's about a boy (Hardy) and his fellow Utopian peers. Everybody looks the same, everybody acts the same. Except Hardy. When the world turned (some unexplained catastrophic event), this group was placed into an underground vault in which they cannot leave. Everything is controlled. The residents believe in no religion, only their set of rules (the reader will never know the exact rules) placed before them called the "Equilibrium". Hardy is different, he looks slightly different, and acts slightly different than the rest of the residents in the Vault. Being confined in the vault eventually takes its toll on Hardy, and he escapes the vault; a feat never achieved by a resident since the world turned. What he finds is unspeakable, a population riddled by nature...

whatcha think!

There's a biological back-theme to this. Let me know if you get it!

Sound like 90% of the novels that teenagers want to write, and that have already been done by some very good writers.

Idea-wise, it's fine, but where's the point of difference that will set it apart from the thousands of others?

Wow, clones.

Wouldn't it be easier for the groupthink to just abort fetuses that differed too much from the desired template during gestation and as a prophylactic measure perform a radical post-birth abortion via bullet in the brain of kids/adults that started wearing suits with fedoras and singing " I JUST GOTTA BE MEEEEE" to preserve the status quo and clap a stopper over pre-revolutionary shenanigans?

That just seems evil villain telling the bound hero his diabolical plan in detail and the secret weakness of his impenetrable fortress of impenetrability level stupid to do otherwise.

I don't recall the name of it, but my eight-year-old read something similar last month. Its a new book, as my sister bought it at Barnes and Noble before Christmas.
