Frankenstein: Would you create life?

No, if I was given the power to, I would not create life like Frankenstein did.

God made this world and all things in it. If we try copying his gifts such as life, then we are disrespecting Him. By attempting to "breathe life" into creations, we are also trying to be on the same level of His power. We have no right to imitate human life..anything that would result would be like a fake Coach purse, to everyone else it would look the same but really it would not have the same value and quality.

Another reason I would not follow in Frankenstein's footsteps, is because I would be frightened of the unknown. Would all my work pay off? What would the repercussions be? How would my invention affect the lives of people on earth? Without knowing the answers to all these questions I would not feel comfortable creating a life.

After deciding to respect God and to not release a mystery of a creature on the world, my answer remains the same. Examining my reasons for not creating a fake life, power to do so would be of no use to me.
