The first room visited is the Fertilizing Room with its incubators. Here ova are fertilized in test tubes to be grown into human beings. The chapter gives a detailed, scientific description of the fertilization process. Because of scientific advancements, the kind of human being created can be controlled. Depending upon society's needs, either superior humans (Alphas and Betas) or inferior humans (Gammas, Deltas, and Epsilons) are created during fertilization. The inferior creations undergo Bokanovsky's Process, whereby one egg will result in a hundred human beings because of a series of "arrested developments." The Director of the Hatchery praises Bokanovsky's Process, because it ensures uniform batches of standard women and men.
