The development of cloning technology led to new ways to produce medicine and improving the understanding of genetics. Cloned animals can be used to carry human traits that could lead to new developments in medicine. Also this could lead to human cloning, but this has not been legalized so far due to people's ethics. Although this process lead to a success in Dollie’s case, there…
Brave New World Journals 1-3 Required Component: "Community, Identity, Stability.” Chapter 1, pg. 1 I believe this quote is important to the three chapters because it describes their “motto” in a way. This is basically what the whole world wants to make in these three chapters. They are able to have control over everything to a great stable community where everybody has identical identities.…
Foster's main idea in this chapter of How to read literature like a professor is that in literature world the word sex can mean so many things such as lost of innocent, purity and sometimes it doesn't even mean sex. Foster gave example of this couple, “Sarah is the future, the twentieth century, for which Charles may be not ready”. Pg.154 The connection between Brave New World by Huxley, and Foster’s main idea is the couples that have in common between sarah and Charles with John and Lenina. John and Lenina are completely the opposite from each other however Lenina stars to fall in love with him, "Perhaps it's because he doesn't like me," she said to herself. And at once this possibility became an established certainty: John had refused…
A theme shared by Brave New World and the article “Why Republicans Still Reject the Science of Global Warming” is the idea that individuals with a great deal of power will try and deny certain aspects of science in order to promote their opposing ideas. In the novel, Mustapha Mond, a controller, believes that “every discovery in pure science is potentially subversive” and at times must “be treated as a possible enemy.” The most important idea that society believes in is stability, and some aspects of science conflict with its envision of stability. The World State tries to keep this stability by leaving the dangerous part of science unknown to citizens in order for them to be blind to the truth, and keep the concept of anonymity in balance.…
In the beginning of the novel, the story seems to be centred around Bernard until a character named John comes along. As John’s character is introduced we can see how his life, morals, and thoughts are completely different from what is considered normal civilization. The three character traits that best describe John is, Rebellious, Religious, and Contrite. John’s actions and thoughts in the story show how these three character traits are relevant and important to the development of John’s character. The first character trait of John is rebellious, John grew up on a savage reserve (“Malpais”) and is considered a total outcast.…

Dolly changed modern science and our ideas about biology in many ways. For most scientists the birth of Dolly overturned the assumption that the whole process of cell differentiation was irreversible. Life is started as a fertilized egg and the cell divides and multiplies and by the time we are born, there are maybe 200 different cell types, each differentiated into a particular role that is determined by the proportion of active genes within the cell. Many Scientists assumed that this process of differentiation was permanent. What Dolly demonstrated was that it is possible to take a differentiated cell and reactivate all its silent genes making it behave as though it were a recently fertilized egg.…
In the article, Ashley states the 5 reasons are all dancing around the mind of a person, his/her feeling, and what he/she experiences in life. Another common reaon why cheating occur in today society is because people are considered cheating is a bad thing. Going back to the 5 reason by Ashley, there is this one reason that will stand out the most for the readers if they have read Brave New World and try to find the connection; the reason is: “They were conditioned to think cheating is OK”(Papa.) Combine this with the other reasons in the article and the common reason the readers can easily understand why there is no cheating in Brave New World. In Brave New World, children were born after a certain states of conditioning, during that time…
Enhancements to an individual’s life due to advancements in science and technology may cloud the foundation of what makes humans, human. This is the message that I believe Huxley is trying to convey through Brave New World by the exaggeration of these advancements. The society in Brave New World is heavily influenced by theories such as social darwinism and eugenics, and possesses the technological prowess to implement the latter into society in an attempt to filter out undesirable traits in a much more effective way than unconventional methods like genocide for example.…
Within the novel, John got into the World State by Bernard offering him to go back with him. He was eager and excited until after he realized how the people are living off with drugs and a polygamy-like way. To him it was different from living in the reservation with no religion, morals, values or anything that he had learned. In his essay on "The Brave New World and Ours", Diken believe that Mond have a conversation with John to explain about the World State's philosophy that help stable the people's life and does not have a religion. That was for John to realize that he living in a world that doesn't have a religion, God, morals, the things that he learned from the Shakespeare's books, or partly from the reservation.…
When the sheep Dolly was born, cloning turned from a Science Fiction to a reality humans have to deal with on so many levels. Cloning to bring back distinct animals, create a new breads and for humans cloning either to produce children for people who can’t have them, to avoid DNA related diseases, to produce organs for sick people who need them, to get a fresh new clone of a lost loved ones or even create super humans. All that has raised a lot of talk among the public. Since Day one, cloning has been tagged with playing the role of “GOD”, and when that happens, first questions rushed to all our minds are; how Ethical/ Unethical would that be? And how safe is it for all the parties involved?…

In Aldous Huxley’s novel, Brave New World, he uses many different topics and literary devices to convey to the reader social issues that are occurring in the 1930s and how they compare to the new society formed in the State World. Some of the elements that Huxley uses to describe the government control over the citizens by brainwashing and drug dependency are precise diction, vivid imagery, and figurative language. He then uses these devices to show the moral and cultural decay in the New World. The theme of Brave New World is the pursuit of happiness through extreme ideals and use of drugs which helps play a factor in aiding the reader to understand what social issues are occurring throughout the novel.…
Brave New World Like death and taxes, there is no escape to color; or isolation. Isolation is pale, white, and blank because there is an absence of substance, just like with the color- white - there is an absence of pigment. In Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, two characters face pallid isolation in different ways, Bernard and John. The author exhibits it within a particular passage in chapters seven and eight when Bernard and John share their feelings of alienation from their respective societies where their strong connection is established. Throughout the novel, there is a recurring symbol of white, but in the Indian village, the symbol of dirt and filth shows the differences, but also serves as an enhancement to their similarities.…
History of Cloning Cloning has been present in our world. Cloning is the only avenue of reproduction in the novel Brave New World. The scientists in Brave New World are able mass fertilize, mass produce, and mature eggs in an extreme short amount of time, by Bokanovsky’s process (Huxley 6). Bokanovsky’s process is fictional, but in the real world we have been able to clone. The first idea of cloning was in 1938 by Hans Spemann, called “fantastic experiment” (The Embryo Project Encyclopedia).…
