I very much disagree with Aldous Huxley's beliefs. Despite having such controversial beliefs, it was very inappriate for high school. As for the story, all the events in the book is how life should be. The only plausible argument against utopia is that it is not easy or even possible to achieve--but that is it. Once utopia is achieved, no one should complain. We should be genetically engineered, feel no pain, and have an endless pursuit pleasure without side effects. If life is flawless, no one should care if we are not unique, do not form exclusive opinions, have no emotions or love, or do not even think about family. The main argument is that the human touch is lost, and as far as I am concerned, we do not need human touch. Because of our human touch, the earth is the worst place to live. Even on a religious perspective, this is how life should be. We have religion because life is not perfect. If life is perfect, then we do not need religion. We should live practically, and not argue like the Savage. All his points were invalid, and anyone else wants to die like the Savage because they cannot cope with this world, so be it.
