Huxleys corporation of U superlativeia is a futuristic edict designed by genetic engineering, and bearled by neural conditioning with mind-altering drugs and a manipulative media system. Yet, despite the similarities, the endorser besides finds many contrasts amid the two societies. Perhaps the most spectacular contrast between Huxleys Utopia and our modern society, deals with the issue of procreation. The studyity of babies born(p) in our society instantly, be still the result of intercourse between a man and a woman. In many cases the birth of a child is a memorable and joyous event for the woman. In Utopia, however, if a woman is caught bearing offspring, she will be punished by exile. outlet not produced t he societys way is a threat to the societys existence, in the eyes of the leaders.
