THE LIMITS OF SCIENCE

Contemporary science is ripe with parallels to Victor Frankenstein’s controversial experiment. In order to bridge this Romantic novel with today’s young readers, I will have three groups of students investigate one of the following modern studies and present their findings to the class.

1. Human Genome Project: an international effort to decode genetic information
in human DNA

2. Visible Human Project: study of an actual human cadaver sliced into razor thin
sections for the purpose of scientific study

3. Dolly the Sheep: the world’s first successful living clone
