One of the classic sciene fiction stories is Frankenstein. It shows how a man/monster was created by Dr. Frankenstein from body parts coming from different dead bodies. There also is a version wherein he was given a wife; a woman 'raised from the dead', who was made to be his companion. The experiment was a success. However, the Frankenstein monster was rejected by the woman who was supposed to be his companion. What the movie depicted was stretching the limits of morality. Bringing someone back to life isn't exactly immoral, as it is seen oftentimes in emergency rooms with doctors trying to revive someone using a defibrilator. It is, however, another issue when you try to create life from organs of different dead people, much more create two.
In the movie shown in class, the monster was shown as dumber and slower as a means of making it less violent and more as a low-functioning human. It did work in a way that the movie will be okay for kids to watch as long as they are under parental supervision. In my opinion, the story should never have been told to the general public in the first place.
