The article “A Feminist Critique of Science”, written by Anne Mellor, explores the rights and wrongs of unnatural science from the telescope view of a devote feminist. Mellor notes that nature cannot be controlled by science and shouldn’t ever be tried to. In Frankenstein, however, our main character Victor does not heed this advice, and decides to make life and death his personal plaything.
Victor is using nature, and life, unnaturally, and therefore is being unfair towards nature as a whole. To create a creature out of science is an insult to nature, and does not follow Mellor’s ideas whatsoever. In fact, it is the complete opposite, making Victor the antagonist of the natural course of human life and human death.

I like your explanation of how creating something that is separate from nature is wrong. I would expand on this idea further, why is exactly is wrong? If you could give a reason for why it is wrong I feel your blog would have a much stronger argument.
I love the idea that you present about the rights and wrongs of unnatural science because I know that there is always this divisive line between science and ethics, especially nowadays with new technological developments. If I were to offer up any form of improvement it would be to expand on the specific rights and wrongs, specifically the ones that come up in Anne Mellor’s essay. I would then suggest going further into the feminist lens that it is seen from. Other than that it was a great post!
