How Babies Are Made In Aldous Huxley's Brave New World

Improved Essays
How far has the world really come since Aldous Huxley Wrote his book ‘Brave New World’? In his book he states how babies are made in the future. I think that we are a little bit of the way to being like what he states in the book. In the book babies are made out in tubes and they do things to make one egg in to twins then so on and keep doing it till they get 96 identical twin that each batch they give them drugs and alcohol to make them at a certain stage so they all have the same job that they are made for. After the are born, which they are all born out of the tubes too. But after they are born they are all sent to a certain place where they go through conditioning where they are conditioned to their jobs. For example from the book they bring the babies out and they bring flowers and books and let them mess with them and after they got used to it, the director signaled the head nurse who then hit a lever and next all the heard was the loud sirens sounding, next the babies would start screaming. Next the Director signaled the Head nurse who then hit another switch which turned on the floor shocked them, the babies were screaming in horror, next the Director told the nurse to shut it off and the babies stopped screaming and twitching next the nurse went to the babies and offered the flowers and books and they screamed and yelled when they see them. The point of the sirens was to teach them that when they see a book/books means loud noises and when they see flowers it means electric shock. They do this over and over till they are conditioned to know what these things mean to them. Those babies will grow up knowing to be hater of flowers and books. (Huxely) Why I think what Huxley states in his book is getting closer to today’s time is because in today’s world there are people out there that want or can’t have kids that will go to a clinic to have babies made out of their eggs and the guys sperm just so they can have kids. They might do this because they can’t have kids or many other reasons as stated in this article by (WGBH). As stated in this article babies that are made in tubes, they do it the same way they do in the book. What they do in the book is more intense then it is in today’s world the babies aren’t actually born out of the tubes then are implanted in to the mother after they are fertilized in a tube. As in the book no one has their own mother or father but in today’s world everyone has a mother or father. Also in the book they go through so much more to make the child perfect for what their jobs are going to be. I honestly think today’s world is becoming more close to what Huxley states in the book but not that close as it

    Aldous Huxley foresaw a number of incredible triumphs in his novel, Brave New World, but it seems that in no point in the near, or even distant future, was liberation for women an attainable goal for him. In fact, despite the dystopic nature of his novel, Huxley instead created a world that is hauntingly similar to our own. ‘Brave New World’ is a second-rate replica of the misogynistic 1930s society that belittled women and gave men an unjust sense of superiority and entitlement. It’s a story that’s been written a million times before, and will unfortunately, be written a million times more. So why, ladies and gentlemen, do books that tell the same sexist story, give or take a subplot or two, become the must-reads of the 21st century?…

    Author George Orwell created in his book, 1984, a world controlled using fear and hate. Government is in control of every aspect of its citizens, even controlling their vocabulary. Huxley’s world in Brave New World is controlled exclusively by science from the time the embryo is placed into the bottle to the person’s time of death. Huxley’s world believes that there can never be change (even though science usually supports change) and by sacrificing change, they are maintaining the stability of the world. They seek perfection.…

    The Impact of the Past The debate of nature versus nurture is one of the oldest and most pondered questions in all of psychology. What dictates how people develop? Is it where they come from or what they experience? This question is hinged upon having a society where nature and nurture operate as separate entities, and the population has enough genetic diversity to produce random variances in how people develop.…

    In my perspective i can see that one day Brave New World will be the future of over lives but as today there are many things that is different. The statement that Huxley says that people adore technologies that undo their capacities to think, I disagree with this statement because In over world we don't adore technologies as much as Brave New World. I agree with the statement that says if they find out the truth they can hurt each there and how when we love someone they run us. I agreed with both of these statements because I believe when we truly love someone we listen to tham and we do what they tell us. When anyone in any society finds out the truth that can react or even harm someone.…

    A utopian society is one in which is modeled on or aims for a state in which everything is perfect or ideal. In a Brave New World, the author Aldous Huxley looks to satirize the ideals of a perfect society and provide a frightening view of what the future may hold. As a result of new technological advances in reproduction and conditioning give way, the impact on society overall is preposterous. The whole reproduction process had been modified so that viviparity is no longer necessary, as children are mass produced in factories. From there, conditioning processes determine the caste and lifestyle each individual will represent for the rest of their life.…
