Description
Like Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein, recent advances in scientific experimentation force us to ponder several questions: What is “acceptable” science and who decides? How can society balance the benefits of new medical discoveries against the ethical and spiritual questions they may pose? To what degree do we preserve and prolong life, and who has the final say?
Understand how far we have come from the time of Dr. Frankenstein’s monster, how far we may go, and the ways in which developments in medical ethics can help us understand the ensuing debates.
