Brave new world

They then took two other groups and let the sleep with no hypnopaedia involved. The next day they all took a test and the group with the help of hypnopaedia did an amazingly better job than the two other groups. The scientist concluded "The observable data was significant enough to support the conclusion that learning can occur during sleep" (Fox and Robin). This is just one example of many on hypnopaedia experiments that are going on right now. Thus Huxley's prediction may not have come true yet, but it is not out of the picture of being a possibility in the future.
             One of the moral issues that Huxley covered in his novel was the freedom of sex. In his novel people openly had sex and even orgies without second thought. Just by a person screaming out orgy-porgy, it would send the people into a sexual frenzy. Huxley wrote his novel in the twenties, when sexual activity was almost strictly monogamous relationships. Society has formed to be much more open and acceptable of sex. A psychologist by the name of John Chapman said "Sexual promiscuity appears to be a much more frequent activity now then it was in the Thirties" (Chapman). The US is currently a country were sexual freedom is very high, thus being one of the reasons for our rapid population increase. In America the ethical moral standard has seem to do a one-hundred and eighty degree turn since the day of Huxley, but some how he hinted towards it some eighty years ago in his writings. It may not be as extreme as Huxley thought of it as, but the way sexuality has increased in the last hundred years his thoughts of the future might be a reasonable ones. Of course there was not the issue of pregnancy to deal with in Huxley's Brave New World, but then again today there a ways to limit pregnancy to. Today there are birth-control pills to stop pregnancy and even abortions to stop the birth of a baby. So Huxley may not be to far off with test tube babies either.
