"If we could rejuvenate, of course it would be different. But we can't." (Huxley 154)
Aging, for some, is a terrifying idea. Some women nowadays are scared to become old and wrinkly. quiet frankly, these people are afraid of becoming what i like to call a 'Veggie' , a useless human being that has no benefit to society, but just sits there and requires food and other resources. If you think about it, the idea of living young until the end of your days is pretty intriguing, imagine if we could have used this technology to keep the great minds of our century alive and coming up with new ideas. Technology is very useful to keep the Alphas young and in their prime in the Brave New World. We do not want our supreme caste to look like a lower caste now would we?
