009 Creators vs Created, Bioethics, and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein

Today’s episode is the first one that is primarily driven by literature and philosophy, namely borrowing themes explored in Frankenstein and Paradise Lost. Victor Frankenstein’s fraught relationship with his creature is a devastatingly emotional purview into what life is. The influence from Paradise Lost and our subsequent relationship with a creator initiates a powerful dialogue worth exploring. General aspects of being creative are also introduced, and human control of life and healthcare conclude the episode. Either way you look at it, advances are mounting without as much central appreciation or critique. It’s a discussion I’d encourage you examine. Enjoy!
