Brave New World, Chapter 1 - 'More Identical Twins is Beneficial to Society'

"Still leaning against the incubators he gave them, while the pencils scurried illegibly across the pages, a brief description of the modern fertilizing process; spoke first, of  course, of its surgical introduction-"the operation undergone voluntarily for the good of Society, not to mention the fact that it carries a bonus amounting to six months' salary"; continued with some account of the technique for preserving the excised ovary alive and actively developing" (Huxley 5).

In arguing on both sides of how scientific and technological advancement benefit humanity is demonstrated in the passage when the Director explained to the new students of what they do at the facility to increase the human population. The director first off lets the students know that the eggs have been taken willing by women who wanted to donate their eggs and that they even get paid for their willingness to do so. The Centre uses the eggs to increase the number of embryos that can be fertilized from them eggs than just getting one human life. Having this technology can be good for society because we would not have to worry about the population being too big or too small. But this technology can also have some consequences such as since there would be about ninety-six identical twins born from these embryos would allow more people to get away with serious crimes because the police would not know for sure which twin could have done the crime if there were to be ninety six of them.
