What is the role of Science in Frankenstein?

Science... It is a sci-fi movie. It deals with the social aspects of using science to create/destroy life.

Actually, Frankenstein created the monster.

How can man ever be at the service of science?!\nYou can't serve what is abstract.\nScience is not a being which wields mankind in order to achieve it's purpose; it has neither aspiration nor desire so how can it?\nYou can only serve what is concrete and existant.\nScience can do nothing apart from being at the service of man. In which case in answer to your question would be for mankind to allow science to serve him/her.

I believe the same methods used to prove physical phenomena can be used to study and document spiritual phenomena.  \n\nFor example, given the developments in nanotechnology and MRI imaging, it won't be long before science can detect, measure and prove the existence of or changes in human brain chemistry and spiritual energy, that occur in cases of demonic oppression and healing through spiritual treatment such as deliverance prayer.\n\nThe same way microscopes proved the existence of "invisible" viruses and bacteria that caused physical infection, I believe technology will be used to prove the existence of demonic energies that cause criminal, mental and physical addictions, as well as the power of prayer to cast out these "spiritual viruses" so that the human mind and spirit can be permanently healed.

Society sometimes fears the unknown, supernatural or grotesque. Frankenstein was perhaps all of these.\nHe was created from a dead body, given life, and was grossly large and deformed in appearance.\n\nHow many people in society would accept disfigured people without fear? Add to this that it was in more ancient times, when fear was more prevalent than in today's culture.

I.D. shows us that within the gaps in science, the signature of God, the Creator (Designer) is found.  All the unanswered questions of Theology and Science can be answered when you merge equal parts of each.  \n\nOnly through true harmonious integration of theology and science can our world be completely understood (and logically explained).  \n\n* There are proven gaps in scientific knowledge.\n* Intelligence leaves behind a characteristic signature (like an artist) of logical progression through a series of systematic methodical stages.\n* The gaps in science are filled in by acts of a Designer.\n* The scientific study of fossil records reveals these signatures again and again.\n* God Created the process of Evolution!\n* Evolution shows the existence of God!\n\nThe key Principle of I.D. is Science Harmoniously Integrating Theology (or S.H.I.T.)  \n\nIntelligent Design - coming soon to a school near you.\n\nGlory be ID

Physics is playing an continually increasing role in the health sciences, but does have a significnt historical role as well. From the discovery of x-rays to the invention of magnetic resonance imaging, physics has led to the development of a host of technologies that permit the doctor to see inside the human body. Nevermind the fact that understanding the physics of optical systems allows lenses to be created which allow both patient and doctor to see. The emergence of lasers now allows for surgeries such as Lasik. Related to diagnostics and protection, physics is leading to the invention of a host of sensor technologies that allow for the analysis of blood, urine, and breath for various physiological parameters (proteins, toxins, etc.). Not only do these biosensors have applicability in the realm of clinical diagnostics, but they are becoming important tools in homeland defense. There are numerous examples of physics in health sciences, and what I have mentioned are only a few. In the coming years physicists will seek to explain more biological phenomena in the same way they formulated a quantum mechanical understanding of chemistry in the early twentieth century.

Dr Victor Frankenstein is the name\nFrankenstein is the doctor, not the monster.

That would be the Frankensteintists, yes?\n\nHerpatologists probably have a "leg up" on this topic, hee hee hee, since many lizards have regenerative powers as do many worms, crustaceans,  and many other life non-mammalian forms

I think it's a GREAT question. While I've not read the story, I'm familiar with it (who isn't familiar if you've been through public high school?)\n\nPersonally, I think that Frankenstein is the monster. He created life, his child if you will, and then left it out there for the world to mold. His monster was a product of nurture vs. nature. While he was built ugly on the outside, he had a pure heart and simply wanted companionship. Society rejected him and was violent toward him, leading him to follow their example and retaliate.

Sure.  But they can not always be responsible for how other humans decide to use them.  Scientists are responsible to "discover" and invent.

The different roles of chemistry within society are vast ( I think that is a valid term for it). Think of all the professional streams that apply 'chemistry'. I think that it is very important. \n\nThe roles of chemistry in society?\n\nOkay obvious ones like Medicine, Engineering, Environment, biology in a way I think. These are just a few but it does stem a large tree of roles that chemistry holds.

Yes.But I ALSO believe in science.Otherwise we wouldn't be on computers right now since science developed them and we wouldn't be flying since science showed us how to fly and we wouldn't be able to study fossils since science tells us a lot about them.But I do believe God created the whole thing.\n\nI think of God as the engineer and scientists as the under-standers of how the engine works.

The Science of Mind takes the best of truth wherever it finds it; it assimilates the common thread that runs through virtually all spiritual (religious) teaching (The Golden Rule); it seeks to discover the unity within all living things, and all teachings.  The Science of Mind is open to change, to growth, to expansion of its principles, that there is one Life, that Life is God, that Life is perfect, and that Life is our life, now.\n\nReligious Science (United Church of Religious Science/Religious Science International), was founded by Ernest Holmes, author of The Science of Mind; Holmes spent all his life in seeking and finding the innate oneness he knew lay within all teaching.  He envisioned and sensed, and communed, with the one Mind, the one Life, that he felt was everywhere present, in and through and as, all life.  One of his most famous declarations is: "There is a Power in the Universe greater than you are, and you can use It."\n\nType "The Science of Mind" in your SEARCH box...you'll see the official website.\n\nReligious Science International actually is a result of a split in the organization; an occurance that Holmes regretted deeply.

Mary Shelley subtitled her novel "The Modern Prometheus." According to the Greeks, Prometheus stole fire from the gods. As punishment, he was chained to a rock, where an eagle each day plucked at his liver. Prometheus sought fire for human betterment--to make tools and warm hearts. Similarly, Mary Shelley's arrogant scientist, Victor Frankenstein, claimed "benevolent intentions, and thirsted for the moment when I should put them in practice." Frankenstein endures not only because of its infamous horrors but for the richness of the ideas it asks us to confront--human accountability, social alienation, and the nature of life itself.
