Have you ever wondered what our society would be like in the future? Brave New World written by Aldous Huxley, describes such a society. It is called the World State. In this society, babies are made by machines, Ford is a deity, everyone has a job to do, and everyone is happy….perhaps too happy.

Full blood heat sterilizes.”(pg 5) This proves that embryos are created in labs. The embryos are made by machines and then kept in
