What society
defines as modern can change from decade to decade, from year to
year, and even from day to day. Science is an ever-changing field
of study. For example, something that was considered modern last
week may be nonexistent today. Dr. Victor Frankenstein describes
this as an enticement of science, the only field of study where
there is continual food for discovery and wonder (Shelley 29-30).
Scientists today are researching and developing new methods that
could one day cure diseases. They can give a person back their

accident. They can also grow donor organs in Petri dishes in a
lab. These sound like amazing advancements that could benefit all
people, and they arebut at what cost?

be illegal and killing should be unlawful. But Christians do not
live in a perfect society. With Brittany, should she have stayed
alive just in case God performed a miracle? Slicks opinion is to
let nature do its thing, he
