"We also predestine and condition. We decant our babies as socialized human beings, as Alphas or Epsilons, as future sewage workers or future" (Huxley 13).
Disagree, Individuality is a threat to a harmonious society.
Every human is mass produced by a process called Bokanovksy. This process uses surgically removed ovaries and technology to form embryos. Each embryo that undergoes Bokanovsky's process is first placed into bottles and then placed into different groups called the Alphas, the Betas, the Gammas, the Deltas and the Epsilons. Since birth, these embryos are predestined to fit in a category. When they are born, the fetus undergoes treatments that will conform them into their groups. The Director and Mr. Foster operate these individuals into their destiny. Every individual are treated based on their classification. The people in Brave New World are not treated as individuals. They do not have freedom or the choice to decide what they want to believe and what they want to be. Although it may be safe to have a somewhat perfect society through placement and conformity, individuality is definitely not a threat to a society. Individuality creates new views and new ideas.
