Today's society is not the brave new world. if we lived as the brave new world we would all know of it. to be put through what they went through would be too rough of a life and we are no where compared to that. we do not live in the hands of someone else's life. we have our own freedom and at that individually. Yes scientist will come up with new methods but it will never come to the cloning etc. there will be those who are drug users and those who were born into a drug free world. we all live as our own. as far as the anthropologist side, society today does compare to the brave new world, for example; instead soma it is gateway drugs like marijuana, alcohol, meth etc.. to not feel what we do not want to feel we take substances.
