"Murder kills only the individual--and, after all, what is an individual?" -pg. 148
This quote really demonstrates the morals of this new society. Much like Never Let Me Go, this world treats a synthesized human as not a true human being with a true spirit. While Hailsham was trying to prove the kids had souls, most of London is ignoring the fact that humans once had souls. The two books are making humans like they are machines; however, in Brave New World seems to be more advanced in the future as far as making humans. The act is still inhumane in my eyes. In London, they have also lost sense of morality. Anyone can sleep with anyone, and God is nowhere to be found. Mothers and fathers in both books seem to be unexistant. These two worlds seem so low in morality and are so inhumane that sometimes I can't fathom a world like that.
