How Does Huxley Create A Hypothetical Utopian Society

In order to create a hypothetical utopian society, Aldous Huxley projects the future progression of technology and bases the direction of his novel Brave New World on those predictions. He shows how social standards and beliefs can be changed, and how a few upgrades over a few decades can cause society to be nearly unrecognizable, vastly dissimilar, and frankly quite strange from an outside perspective. Huxley predicts that technological advances can lead to views on birth, sex, and relationships that vary considerably from modern society. One concept Huxley hypothesizes is the idea of what we call “test tube babies.” This refers to the Community’s method of developing custom humans in labs. The fetuses and infants are modified chemically and environmentally to prepare them for life and allow them to be “happy” with their predestined occupations. Some fetuses are deprived of oxygen,
Recently, scientists succeeded with “the first confirmed case of gene editing of human embryos in the US”, which has brought them “closer to the ability to create genetically engineered humans” (Motherboard), allowing them to cure diseases and mutations. Plenty of conflict resulted as many considered this activity unethical, but genetic engineering has begun, and there’s no telling how far it will go. According to New York Times, the universal standard of “family” is changing and decaying. “Marriages are dissolving with increasing frequency. In many developed countries, divorce rates doubled between 1970 and 1990…” And this is not just in America; it’s a worldwide problem. If family continues to become less of a priority, anything we have left will hardly be considered family at all, and if this process is aided by the scientific developments discussed earlier, it is foreseeable that families could cease to exist altogether, a concept that Huxley happened to put forward in Brave New
