The brief bio from the site: At TEDxPeachtree, bioethicist Paul Root Wolpe describes an astonishing series of recent bio-engineering experiments, from glowing dogs to mice that grow human ears. He asks: Isn't it time to set some ground rules? Paul Root Wolpe examines the ethical implications of new science -- genetic modification, neuroscience and other breakthroughs that stretch our current philosophy to the breaking point. He's the chief bioethicist at NASA, among other appointments

Then take CORNELL notes on the following:
 * 1) Give examples of several of the "monstrous" breakthroughs -- and their impact and relevance to Frankenstein.
 * 2) Relate that to ideas in Prometheus -- should we do these things just because we can?
