Frankenstein--still relevant today

And I am not talking about the old-time horror movies where the monster just stumbled around and scared people! I have decided to use the novel by Mary Shelley for an upcoming college composition class with a focus on literature. It brings up many interesting issues about scientific intervention in creating life, responsibility for one's scientific creations (which may be alive or not), how to relate to people who are not considered "normal," and more. One major issue with new technology is always "how far is too far?" It would seem that we are always pushing the envelope with any scientific advance. I find it interesting to bring the moral voice into such a discussion and see what boundaries a group of interested people can agree with. In any case, lots of possibilities for writing!
