Microorganisms In Frankenstein

In 1818, Mary Shelley predicted man playing God and endeavoring to create life. Through "Frankenstein", Shelley wrote a novel that discussed a frantic researcher getting arrogant about himself and trusting that he could make life himself without even once considering the outcomes that most likely would come with it. "Frankenstein" anticipated that these manifestations brought on by human interest would lead to unforetold issues both theoretically and in present reality. In spite of the fact that this novel was made as a work of fiction at the time, the introduction of this novel resounds profoundly in today's general public with genetically engineered creations by man, for example, GMO's, Clones, and Artificial Intelligences. This brings into

Some of the major fears that come from GMO’s is that they could lead to undesired consequences and that they might be covering up many harmful effects that come from it. One case of issues emerging from GMO's originates from 1980's when a contaminated nourishment supplement brought on 100 deaths and 5,000-10,000 more sicknesses and inabilities (Ratner, Frankenmeat: Growing a Burger in a Petri Dish.). Accidents like these are what fuel the distrust of GMO’s by the public. Since many antibiotics are put into GMO’s, bacteria has become resistant to the antibiotics. The scientists need to develop new antibiotics to combat the evolution of the harmful bacteria (Northam, Legacy of Frankenstein: The Monster is the One in the White Lab Coat). Therefore, there is the fear that one day, the bacteria that scientists used to be able to resolve with simple antibiotics will eventually become so resistant that scientists cannot develop such an antibiotic. Although there is countless evidence that GMOs can be harmful, there are still others who believe that, just like cloning, GMOs can have positive benefits as well. Therefore, many people will be reluctant to point the good that comes out of GMOs like modifying foods/organisms so that they are able to survive in the cold, survive in the heat, and be immune to common diseases that usually impact the organism in a harmful manner so that there is more and bigger food for us as humans. For example, the genetically modified strawberries that are grown in America are yielding more crop than organic strawberries today because the GMO one is more resistant to cold and insects that harm it (Ratner, Frankenmeat: Growing a Burger in a Petri Dish). Although GMOs can be used for preserving and augmenting many foods by adding genetically modifying them, modification of organisms and genetic engineering
