Answer:

A. Just because a scientific advance can be made, is it morally right to do so?

Step-by-step explanation:

In "Frankenstein," Mary Shelley approaches the principles of right and wrong of scientific development. In that respect, Victor Frankenstein, against the laws of nature, plays to be God and builds a monster in his laboratory. The Creature is repulsed by everyone because of his horrible appearance and then turns against Victor for creating him and blaming him because everyone rejects him. Therefore, Shelly brings up the message of how far science can go: if it is ethically correct to challenge God and try to conceive a new human species.
