Thoughts on Brave New World

While I was reading Brave New World, written by Aldous Huxley, I thought that he was talking about a chicken egg hatchery, but in fact, it was a human egg hatchery. Everything began to make sense because, I was quite confused as of why the young men were attentively scribbling every word the Director said into their notebooks. So far I am enjoying this book because it appears to be a sort of sci-fi book, and I like these type of books.

Also, I have noticed that this book is kind of like The Giver. The books are similar in the sense that they are both set in a utopian society. The difference between Brave New World and The Giver so far are that one world, being the world in Brave New World, is focused on the breeding of people ,rather than trying to control every aspect of the people's lives.

Also I wonder why people are not just allowed to have children in the first place, then they would not have to worry about the stability of the population. I also wonder why is stabilizing the population such an issue in both books. In The Giver, it is so important that the amount of people entering this world must match the amount leaving; I guess it is all apart of the plan to keep the society trouble free.
