You repeat mindless euphemisms and slogans, even to the point of making literally nonsense statements. Why?

Gee, because you are addressing one of the great moral issues of our time with science fiction that has no bearing on the current debate? Not only that, but Brave New World was meant as a warning, not as a guide for a better life in the future.

There was a kind of a better-living-through-chemistry tone to it :-) :-)

"..there is always soma, delicious soma, half a gramme for a half-holiday, a gramme for a week-end, two grammes for a trip to the gorgeous East, three for a dark eternity on the moon..."

Much of yesterday’s science fiction are today called cures.
What is the moral issue you speak of? Could you please be specific?

A warnin about what? That I should not talk about a possible way I see of doing away with the destruction of unborn children?
