Frankenstein's monster, now sentient, must come to terms with his alienness in a world that despises him. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein has remained a classic literary tale for its brilliant reconciliation of modern science and the age-old cautionary tale. This compelling book offers readers a collection of seventeen essays on the role that bioethics plays in Frankenstein. The book also covers Shelley's life and work, her knowledge of science and the sources she drew from, how the novel taps into our bioethical desires and fears, and a discussion of contemporary issues such as legalizing the sale of body parts and lifting the barriers to stem cell research.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gary Wiener\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 073775012X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780737750126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Greenhaven Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Library Binding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Gary Wiener","offers":[{"title":"Library Binding","offer_id":44054858039551,"sku":"9780737750126","price":48.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_469757c8-991e-40df-a60b-74d01979f166.jpg?v=1685032392","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bioethics-in-mary-shelleys-frankenstein-gary-wiener-9780737750126","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
