In Huxley's argument, people from the book have similarities and differences compared to our society.

Let's first talk about the similarities where people from the Brave New World book are similar to our society from the following points. Firstly, the "bokanovsky process" in the book is the process applied to fertilized human eggs in vitro, causing them to split into identical genetic copies of the original, whereas in our society scientists tried so hard to understand how cloning works and use it on animals

Firstly, the bokanovsky process is a cloning process where it doesn't exist and no one tested it on humans compared to the Brave New World book where everyone is born due to the cloning process. Secondly, everyone is classified the moment they were born into high class (alpha, and betas) or middle class ( gamma) or low class (epsilon) where your destiny is set for you with no changes of who you are and what you can be with the dreams set for you based on your class "future world controllers" (Pg23), whereas in our society everyone have the right to have goals and influence the world by his or her ideas. Thirdly, Epsilon is a class where a set of people don't use their intelligence in their life "but in epsilons, we don't need human intelligence" (Pg25) unlike us where everyone uses their brains and their intelligence for their daily life to make it an easier living. Finally, people don't show emotions (love) to their companions because relationship don't last where it's commonly popular and usual for the people to cheat on each other, whereas also people consider women are a bunch of meat with no respect from the men, whereas unlike them, women are respected, chooses their companions very carefully, relationships last much longer, and finally women value

    Cloning is a cell, cell product, or organism that is genetically identical to the unit or individual it is derived from. During the process of cloning, a piece of DNA is cut from its source with a restriction enzyme. Then, the DNA is put into a vector ( a DNA molecule used to transport genetic material into another cell). The vector is introduced to a host cell by the process called transformation, then the host cell copies the vector DNA with the original DNA; creating copies of the inserted DNA.

    Brave New World and Gattaca are two forms of text which explore similar ideas. Brave New World is a novel written by Aldous Huxley and published in 1932, Gattaca is a film directed by Andrew Niccol and released in 1997. The two texts promote similar ideas, in which modern society will morph into a dystopic and inhumane world for the sake of stability. One of these ideas is that genetic manipulation will lead to a dystopic society, in which those genetically disadvantaged will be discriminated against and have far less opportunity. This however produces a stable society in which the idea of control through oppression of the weak and disadvantaged is explored, this can be seen through the alphas running the ‘New World’ in Brave New World and the ‘degenerates’ being oppressed in Gattaca.…

    Another example is when Huxley creates a society for readers that includes mental images of a “perfect” World State. In the Department of English Language and Literature, Bilal Tawfiq Hamamra says, “Children are not born out of sexual intercourse between a couple, but they are scientifically manufactured in the same manner Henry Ford manufactured model T cars” (Hammara 1). This evidence suggests that children in the World State are made like a model T car, by having an assembly line to create a “perfect” human beings. Lastly, Brave New World constructs sensory details to illustrate how humans are like animals in an abnormal society. Aldous Huxley also says, “Turned into a savage,” she shouted.…

    In the novel Brave New World Huxley attempts to prophesize how our future society will become from where its current path was going, given the social influences and technological advances of his time. Although some of these prophecies have come true, such as a great increase in sexual freedom, the humanlike qualities that differentiate us from other species, such as science, art, and religion have not completely been forgotten like it has in the people of World State.

    It would seem unimaginable that in time God would resurrect all persons who have passed to their original bodily form. That those who were cremated and their ashes spread in the ocean or on earth would be restored by God’s will. Like most people, I’ve experienced loss of a loved one, my mother who was cremated and her ashes spread in Rocky Mountain National Park, her request while living. Linda Badham’s realistic approach of resurrection and the problems associated with life after death brought about a sense of fear and dread within me. Linda Badham brings to light, how unlikely is it that our various atoms would come together to reconstruct our original human form (Peterson, et al., Philosophy of Religion, p.507)?…

    A shared idea between these two societies is that Human life is not valued in any way. This is shown in Fahrenheit 451 when it tells about how common suicides are, and when the unqualified people that come to help Mildred when she is dying (Bradbury 15). An example of the belittlement of the human life in Brave New World society is shown when there is no mourning or sadness when someone dies, but eat ice cream instead (Huxley 207). Another factor controlled by the government is family life. In both of these novels there is little to no family life present at all.…

With this, Huxley shows the amount of power that cloning can bestow to a person or a group of people, thereby showcasing the amount of power that technology can bestow to a person or a group of people.
