You've never liked a book you may not have agreed with 100%? The members of the "society" in Brave New World were programmed since birth to behave like they do, which is an assault on their personal liberty. If they were free to make the choice to be casual about sex, that would have been fine.

But isn’t this all just personal and they are your ethical assumptions why should anyone else subscribe to them.
a. why is life precious? We are all just dust. Does that mean that abortion, capital punishment, and any form of killing is wrong no matter what? And if it is what do you do about it?
b. What if they do infringe on my liberty and disrupt my happiness? Am I allowed then to do what I want when I want to them?
c. Who says we have an obligation to help others? If it is the individuals life and I’m to live it to the fullest why should anyone feel obligated to help others?

You asked for my personal set of ethics. I never said everyone should ascribe to them. When two conflicting sets of ethics occurs, that's what we call society. We're doing a decent job of it at present. Not perfect, but we ARE only human.
