What’s your Frankenstein?
“I saw – with shut eyes, but acute mental vision – I saw the
pale student of unhallowed arts kneeling beside the thing he put together. I saw the hideous phantasm of a man stretched
out, and then, on the working of some powerful engine, show signs of life, and
stir with an uneasy half-vital motion. Frightful must it be; for supremely frightful would be the effect of any
human endeavour to mock the stupendous mechanism of the Creator of the world.”
What unhallowed arts have we put together as a society in
our world today and what unhallowed arts do we have in store to create while we audaciously
reserve the right to abdicate responsibility for overstepping the bounds of
nature, and even, natural order?
What can we stop, reverse, rectify? Is it too late?
