Since the dawn of time, acquaintance has been in the minds of men. In the story, Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley, higher-up deals with the creation of life as conflicting to Arks and Genetic Bottlenecks by Harold J. Morowitz which denies the scientific validation of Noahs Ark. Science, in most cases, has interfered with homo lives, especially in religion in the aspect of human copy. In reality, it is not just a question of science, it is a matter of science versus religion. How far will science go to allow human cloning which is a test of peoples religious beliefs? Both Frankenstein and Arks and Genetic Bottlenecks provide readers with round identical and some different answers. First, Frankenstein, and Arks and Genetic Bottlenecks, deal with a uniform issue that today people know as cloning.

In Arks and Genetic Bottlenecks, Morowitz as well discusses genes and how all different organisms do not have the same variety of genes with exception of identical twins (760), and that genetic diversity is essential for the selection of all species. Though, today, cloning is a big issue which people are afraid of, Mary Shelley, in her time, had an idea that scientists might attempt something similar to cloning which instilled fear in the hearts of men, and made her write Frankenstein. A similar fear is generated by Dolly, the Sheep cloned in Scotland in 1997. According to the film, gentlemans gentleman Cloning, this has made religious activists protest against cloning in fear that science would destroy mank... ...man. The question still remains Are scientists going to aim . . . how dangerous is the acquirement of knowledge . . . (Shelley 154), or are they still preoccupy with proving Harold J. Morowitz right?
