Abstract in brief
- Frankenstein serves as a valuable teaching tool for health sciences students to critically analyze ethical issues, the role of empathy, and the responsibilities of scientists in biomedical research, especially in the context of rapid scientific progress.
- The novel's themes can stimulate discussions about the personal and social limits of science, the relationship between curiosity and technological advancement, and the ethical implications of innovations like artificial intelligence and genetics.
- Despite its recognized potential, there has been limited empirical research on using Frankenstein in education, but it remains a powerful resource for exploring complex bioethical questions through literature, fostering critical thinking about science and humanity.
