Huxley brings up many topics that are argued with in today's world. There's plenty to discuss about how Huxley feels about birth control, cheating, and drugs in Brave New World. The people took drugs like they drank water. In one part Huxley wrote, "...the warm, the richly coloured, the infinitely friendly world of soma-holiday. How kind, how good-looking, how delightfully amusing everyone was"(77). This is just crazy! In the world we live in today a majority of people would frown upon this.
Huxley does discuss cloning a bit with the children in the beginning. The thought of identical children in every aspect is just scary. I read the cloning articles with the pets, and I am against it. I understand that cloning animals would help make their observations and research more accurate, but for everyone else, it's not good. Cloned animals have had major health issues, and are still their own character. If you pay a ridiculous amount of money to purchase a cloned version of your perfect lab, you are not getting the same dog. Why would scientists really want to make more pets? There are so many animals in shelters that need homes. Just adopt!!!!!
