Oh I agree to all that, still. Maybe I’ve seen and read too many dystopian movies and books.

I wish I was kidding, but what are the chances that China will become the first country to mass produce their new population via in vitro?
He does this to get people to talk about him. He hates not being the topic of every conversation. He will do ANYTHING to become the most spoken about topic.
The moment that I wasn’t allowed to do with my 6 accounts what I want to do, it was done for me.
I have seen people during the Trump administration that were proud to get fired. I am not saying that I don’t get it, but I respect those people more.
Thank you for explaining it. I still find it weird how it works, but ok.
Just a question as a ignorant European. From what I understand he is now a convicted rapist, right? Does that mean he is entered in the sexual offenders database that you have in the states?
How about Keanu? I think he would be cool to meet as well. Would genuinely find it hard to choose between the two (Hugh and Keanu)
Really nice of you to do this, thank you. I would like to put my name in the hat for Miles morales. Best of wishes to you and yours.
Oh sure, well, for books, there’s Brave New World, which you already mentioned. You might also like The Windup Girl, where they have “New People” created for specific roles, and The Island, which deals with cloning mainly for organ harvesting. The Handmaid’s Tale explores similar themes of control over reproduction, though in a different way, and The Children of Men is another classic that dives into issues of societal control and the value placed on human life. Genesis and The Clone touch on related ideas too.
For movies, you’ve got The Matrix as an obvious choice, then Gattaca for genetic engineering themes, and Aeon Flux, which also involves heavily regulated human bodies. You might also like Logan’s Run, which depicts a society where life is strictly limited and controlled; and Moon, which explores the unsettling use of clones in isolation.
To weather they are worth reading / watching, that is kinda up to the individual i think. I found them enjoyable.
