What is the role of the creative arts in the bioethics debate? Mary Shelley's 1871 novel Frankenstein captured the zeitgeist of the early 19 th century, when scientific discovery gave rise to the fear that we play God with nature at our own peril. The themes embedded in Frankenstein still resonate. Can I own myself? Can I be bought, sold, traded or even created to serve someone else's purpose? Can I sell my organs or can they be forcibly taken from me? In grappling with these themes, writers take us deep into the messy complexity of what it is to be human.
