Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
He believes science should have a very limited role on our society!.!.!. he believes it should occure, because it saves lives, and provides happyness; however, it can sometimes conquer the very people for whom it was created!. He believes it has become out of hand (so to speak) as it can no longer be trusted to have society's best interests in mind!. If you actually read it, it is pretty twisted!. People are "decanted" and have pre-determined roles in society, everyone dies at 60 as to not become a burden to society, and everyone does soma (hardcore drug) to stay superficially happy!. Science's role in society has become way to trusted upon!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think the most important role science plays in "Brave New World" Is the breeding of specific people for specific jobs in society!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
