Human Behavior Flows In The Island Of Doctor Moreau

208 Words1 Pages
Plato said, “Human behavior flows from three main sources: desire, emotion, and knowledge.” In The Island of Doctor Moreau, Doctor Moreau attempts to create new breed of life by combining animals and humans through vivisection, for which reason he was shamed by London, even by some of his science colleagues. However, some persons may have been turned off by the idea, but like another character in Wells’ novel, Edward Prendick disagreed but does nothing to stop the procedure, refusing to act against vivisection. This paper will explain the attitude held by some nineteenth century thinkers that humans should not experiment on humans without reason to believe it is going to help humanity. Sources used are: Experimenting with Humans and Animals
