The document discusses issues around the use of genetic information and technology to control human reproduction and individuals. It compares the practices of the World State in Brave New World, where genetic engineering and conditioning are used to strictly control castes and roles, to contemporary society. While both seek to maintain peace and stability, the World State does so by limiting freedom and individuality, manipulating people through technologies like the drug soma. The document questions whether similar trends toward social control through emerging technologies could undermine individual liberty in modern societies as well.

4. Human reproduction in World State
“They’re plagued with
no mother or fathers;
they’ve got no wives,
or children, or lovers
to fell strongly about;
they’re so conditioned
that they practically
can’t help behaving at
they ought to behave.”
( Huxley 220 )

5. Separation
"What with mothers and lovers, what with the
prohibition they were not conditioned to obey,
what with the temptations and the lonely
remorse. what with all the diseases and the
endless isolating pain, what with the
uncertainties and the poverty-they were forced
to feel strongly”.
( Huxley 39)
