If I had the power to create life as Dr. Frankenstein did, I believe that depending on how I looked at it I both would and wouldn't.
I would because creating a new life form would be an amazing scientific discovery and might be able to help future generations. Maybe finding the ability to do this would help scientist cure diseases or extend life longer.
I wouldn't because I believe it to be morally wrong. Taking from peoples graves for your own selfish endeavors is a horrible thing to do. Also from a religious standpoint it isn't our place to create life, that belongs to God only.
Depending on how you look at it the choice to create life as Dr.Frankenstein did can be viewed as morally unjust and a scientific miracle.

My thoughts before reading Frankenstein
Our English 11 class is about to start reading the novel Frankenstein.
You would think the author of this story would be a man, but oddly enough a woman of only 19 wrote this classic horror novel. During a time where men were dominant in literature this young woman wrote about monsters and creating life through science. Most woman authors at that time wrote about families and female protagonists .
Yes man can create life, in a sense, through modern sciences like cloning and genetics. But in my opinion they are not creating real life through that because man cannot create a soul only the body it resides in. Man really has no right to create life anyway, only God does, though that is my religious view.
I believe that I am ready to read this novel and our class will enjoy it very much.

2012 Theme word
The word that I chose is happy because i want to be able to move past anything that gets in my way or upsets me. I want to be able to be happy with my life, no matter what is happening in it. I'm not saying that i want to be a super happy person all the time; i just want to be able to look back and say that I am happy with the choices i have made.Happy with your life doesn't mean that you have to love everything about it. You just have to be able to let things go and move on with your life.
The word happiness is defined as a state of well-being characterized by emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy.
Being able to accept how things have turned out and be happy with that outcome will help my life a lot. Especially as a teen where everyday becomes a soap opera episode. Happiness is my main goal for this year, whatever that might include, whether I break-up, fail a test or loose a close friend. I want to be able to say that i tried my best and I'm OK with how I did and that I will keep trying until i get it right.
