Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Centre

The Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Centre is a fictional facility from Aldous Huxley's novel "Brave New World," where human embryos are artificially bred and genetically engineered to produce a stratified society. The hatchery controls reproduction, manipulating genetics and conditioning individuals from before birth to fit predetermined social roles. This process ensures societal stability and uniformity, eliminating natural variability and personal choice. The centre exemplifies themes of technological control over human life, raising questions about ethics, individuality, and the impact of scientific advancements on human freedom.
