        Summary
        Human cloning has been a topic of discussion for a long time. These discussions have ranged from the possibility of human cloning to the moral justifications that go hand in hand with cloning. The purpose of this study is to examine the different ways in which the cloning and reproduction processes in Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World are used to control the population of that world. The original novel is compared to several other sources, including Huxley's own Brave New World Revisited. There are three important and interweaved methods for control over the population in the novel. The most important and extensive method of control is conditioning, but the lack of identity and life choices amongst the clones are also apparent.
