The novel Brave New World by Aldous Huxley is a narrative of the "newworld order" of the future human society.

People generated from liveand artificial births are also categorized: those who were born throughartificial means are considered part of the society, while those who wereborn through live birth are discriminated against. However, to compare the processes of conception and birthin Huxley's novel to the concept of assembly line is too simplistic and notapplicable at all, since humans are not products that are 'made' in orderto achieve perfection. The assembly line concept is similar to Huxley's idea ofsegregation of humans through artificial conception and birth, since bothprocesses (assembly line and artificial births) aim to produce "qualityproducts" by assigning people to control and look over the process everystep of the way. Humans are created mainly for the purpose of pro-creation-that is, perpetuate human society despite the differences anddiversity that abound in our lives today. The process of artificial births to produce "quality" humans thathave superior skills, talents, and intelligence can be likened to thecurrent method of assembly lines commonly applied by manufacturingcompanies. In theprocess of artificial conception and birth, people are identified intovarious groups, wherein groupings are determined according to theindividual's intelligence, skills, and talents. Live birth is no longer thenorm, and artificial birth is the preferred method in the society. Take as an examplethe process of pro-creation among humans.
