Brave New Babies

I’m sure everyone has seen the articles that have been coming out about “CRISPR babies” recently. The concept of altering the human genome to make a more “perfect” person is really facinating. (I could be reaching here) but it reminds me of the way children are manufactured in the novel. It also makes me question the socioethical consequences this kind of procedure will have when applied in real life especially when considering the effects it has had on the characters of Brave New World  and their society in general.
