In the book Brave New World the cloning proses takes place in the Central London Hatchery and Conditioning center.

But in the book having natural child birth is considered morally wrong and is looked down upon. As you can tell even though we are not very far behind from the scientific advancements of the Brave New World our societies are very different. The majority of the people in the real world are against human cloning, 57% of people that took a survey said that yes human cloning is very wrong (Debate.org) this is what some of the people said “Human Cloning is Very wrong!! We Should All Be Different!!” (Debate.org). But on the other hand human cloning is the only right way to produce children in the Brave New World because natural child birth is looked at as being
