    Should virginity be regarded as a virtue in modern society?

    Re: About hymen existence apparently the govt is thinking of removing that policy soon. The reason being (exactly as you said) because the male:female ratio is way to high and so all men are either going out with the same girl; or they are finding "overseas brides". On a more related topic...

    Eugenics

    When i say that the implementation of Eugenics in modern society will further the gap between social classes, i'm referring mainly to the fact that these processes will be very expensive and so only the wealthy or semi-wealthy will be able to afford it. Thus those that are wealthy have the...

    Eugenics

    Your right, in BNW it is completely about copying to maintain the status quo (as you put it..). But would this be any different form the use of eugenics in our modern day society? I think it is actually similar, both societies will ultimately be using eugenics as a means of eradicating...

    Eugenics

    Well to me they are regarded as important because of the environment i've been brought up in (i.e. mainly due to parents, friends, teachers and the typical customary values/morals).

    Eugenics

    Who's to say that eugenics won't be used for unethical purposes? One of the strognest arguments aginst making eugenics accessible to everyone is that it could (very likely) lead to an abuse of the technology by parents who wish to produce 'perfect' children. Would you not consider the artificial...

    Eugenics

    btw the reason why i know so much about this novel and the themes it presents is because it is one of my compulsoy texts for English. if you really want i could go on and on about the other (less significantly highlighted) dangers (technological, religious, social, etc.) that it also presents
