Morality Of Cloning Cloning Of Humans
1,414 words
Humans have within their grasp the ability and
technology to create life. Many believe that this
knowledge will lead to further degradation of the
human spirit. But others, like Prometheus and his
gift of fire, believe that new technology is the
key to a new, and better, reality. Genetic
engineering and, specifically, cloning, of human
life has become an issue of extreme gravity in the
age of technology where anything may be dreamed
and many things are possible. Cloning is a reality
in today's w...

Frankenstein is the name of the scientist, not
monster, and the monster himself is not the

niro shows in the 1994 film version of the novel.

A reckless, opinionated, driven feminist, who
changed the face of literature, such is the
perception of Mary Shelley. Truth be told, the
general population would be correct in their
assumptions. However, if they were to delve deeper
into the psyche of Mary Shelley, they would be
astounded to see the true harsh reality of Mary's
existence. The Romantic era which took place
between 1770 and 1848 promoted a profound shift in
sensibility and a life rooted in the emotions and
sentiments. Mary Shelley...

Morally Correct One Person
778 words
Morality. It has been questioned by people,
honored by people and revered since the beginning
of time. Yet even today not one person can say
what is morally right. It is a matter of opinion.
It was Dr. Victor Frankenstein's opinion that it
was alright to create a monster. Frankenstein's
creation needed a companion. Knowing that his
first creation was evil should the doctor make a
second? With the knowledge at hand, to Dr.
Frankenstein, it is not at all morally correct to
bring another monster in...
