Both Fjermedal and Huxley have their own ideas about improvements that they feel need to be made to humanity.

This really irritates me in a lot of different ways. There might be a few things that seem to get improved, but there would definitely be a lot more things taken away from humanity. What is wrong with books and roses in the first place? Absolutely nothing. It teaches them false lessons that will affect them for the rest of their lives. We would also then be able to make backup copies of our minds or computer programs, so that we could live our so-called lives, or certain moments of them, again and again, making changes that we feel could improve them. There is no reason for taking these items away from the babies in the first place, and Huxley gives no explanation for the idea of taking them away.

Aldous Huxley also feels that humanity needs to be changed in his short story, conditioning the Children. They think that by making these changes, they will improve our society greatly. Both authors presented outrageous ideas that I feel would hurt our society a lot more than improving anything. The authors however propose improbable solutions that would affect society and lifestyle in a negative way, rather than do them any good.

There are definitely problems in our society, and both authors may recognize some of the same problems that I have seen. The fact that you would have to abandon your human body to enter into that of a robot is just frightening. These computer programs would then be downloaded into a robotic body that the person chose before the surgery was performed. Huxley gives the idea that it is a good way to get people to behave the way that their elders feel they should.
