2. Please describe Bokanovsky's Process. Why does The Director call it the "major instrument of social stability?"
Bokanovsky's Process is the process in which the scientists produce a result called budding, in which the egg splits into multiple other eggs, and there fore one egg can produce up to 98 children.
3. Why did the doctor wish to keep the Epsilon "embryo below par?"
Because the Epsilon embryo is supposed to form the lower classes of the society, and the upper levels of the society do not want the lower levels getting any ideas about how unfair their situation may be. They don't' want them revolting.
4. What does Mr. Foster mean when he says: "We condition them to thrive in heat...that is the secret of happiness of virtue - liking what you've got to do. All conditioning aims at that: making people like their inescapable social destiny."? How does this connect to what is happening in Rack 10?
That they aim to eliminate identity from all their creations- they aim to create a perfect obedient being. They also want to make the people define themselves by thier group, in order to better control them.
