In this journal you will reflect on a fear that you have had about science being out of control, for example, GMOs, cloning, nuclear weapons, artificial intelligence, digital surveillance and the loss of privacy, etc. In two to three pages, describe a specific science-related fear, explain the reasons for your fears, and discuss how the knowledge you gain from the novel Frankenstein can be applied to help alleviate or protect our society from such fears. In your discussion of the novel be as specific as possible and provide detailed textual citations to support your claims.
