Do you think Frankenstein went too far in his quest for knowledge? Or, more interestingly, is it possible to learn too much? What should Frankenstein have done differently? In a larger context how should we protect and safe-guard the advancement of knowledge.
I think that Frankenstein went that far in his quest for knowledge. I believe he went a little too far because he tried to play the role of God. I thought it was good that he went to college and wanted to gain all the knowledge he could from his professors. Also, it was smart to had the thought about creating life as a experiment. But he went to far when he tried to bring a human to life. If he would've just found a dead animal, rat, or even insect to bring to life it would somewhat OK. In our society we as people always do test on rats and other animals to see if certain drugs work or try to figure out if we can find a cure for something. In many of the experiments the animals die in the process. That why I believe that he should of brought a animal to life. Since he cut body parts from other humans and put them together to create another he went to far. He started to play the role of God when he created a monster from humans and distend himself form everyone in his life. There's really not a away to monitor or protect knowledge really except its illegal. The only boundary I would say that we should protect is with illegal items like weapons, bombs, drugs etc. People in other countries are taught how to build weapons and bombs only for killing. I think we should put a barrier on that so not just anyone can make these things.
