Brave New World was supposed to be a story about a dystopian future, but I always thought the idea of automating production of humans and creating planned societies was a brilliant innovation. Why bother with trying to restrict breeding through coercion? Simply manufacture enough sterile humans using artificial wombs, and eventually they could outcompete the 'feral' population. As a bonus, you could perfectly control population levels and prevent the top-heavy population trees that are occurring in Japan and Italy, for example.
