Basically the hatching and conditioning centre is a place where people are genetically engineered. The students view various machines and techniques used to promote the production and conditioning of embryos. The scientists take an ovary, remove and fertilize the eggs, force the eggs to bud up to ninety-six times, and subsequently grow the embryos in bottles. Predestinators then decide the future function of each embryo within the society, essentially assigning a future job to each human. The eggs are taken surgically from women and only the the good ones are used. Sperm is taken from various levels of men.

At the hatching and conditioning center, they manipulate genetics. Students see how embryos are enhanced and conditioned through various methods. Eggs are taken, fertilized, and made to bud multiple times before growing in bottles. Predestinators decide each embryo's future role in society, ensuring lifelong jobs. Women undergo surgery to provide eggs, and only healthy ones are chosen. Men of various ranks provide sperm for the process.
