Breathless

Without closely analyzing the book “Frankenstein” many tend to believe that Victor would be a huge part of our advanced research in stem cells and cloning because that was the basis of his work. But they tend not to look at the outcome, just as Victor did when creating the monster. Hungry for knowledge Victor was just like many modern scientists: experimental, curious and bias.
