of creating a new species for future generations; however, John Gray, an American philosopher and author, states that “whatever emerges from [these technological advances] won’t be human. A bodiless mind that doesn’t age or die isn’t a human being.” John Gray explains that a creature developed by technology is not a human being because it obtains traits that are unnatural and unearthly. This same discovery is made by Victor Frankenstein in Mary Shelley’s novel: Frankenstein. Victor, a scientist who

“monsters” in the eyes of many. The reading by Stryker proves how transsexuals and Frankenstein’s monster are rejected from society due to their lack of “beauty”. Both suffer personal gender acceptances because of their human embodiments. They are both perceived as less than fully human due to lack of their embodiments. A monster can be referred to a living thing of anomalous shape or structure or to creatures that are supernatural impediments (Stryker, Susan). And a transsexual is an individual who

Society contributes to how people treat others with non-normative bodies. Race is a part of the physical features that contributes to how a person is viewed. In the texts The Monster and The Story of My Life, Henry Johnson and Helen Keller faced different treatments from their peers because of their different racial backgrounds. After saving a little boy from a fire that cost him is face, instead of being treated like a hero, he was treated like a monster because of his ethnicity. Helen Keller, on

People have their own preferences on certain physical attributes when it comes to choosing. For instance, people tend to prefer a certain shade of color and may pick out something based on outer characteristics, rather than quality or use. Generally, when people go shopping, they scan the aisles for the most eye-attractive things and will likely buy these. But, if they are looking for a authentic skinned purse, would a prettier, fake replica attract more of their attention? The book Heroes, Gods

Merriam Webster defines beauty as “the quality or aggregate of qualities in a person or thing that gives pleasure to the senses or pleasurably exalts the mind or spirit.” Inner and outer beauty stimulates the mind in some way.

According to Heflick and Goldenberg, A woman’s physical appearance is the prime indicator of why they are facing continuous oppression. When a woman’s physical appearance is valued above anything else, this often leads to the perception that a woman’s physical traits are more important than her mental capacity. This mindset leads to the misconception that women are incapable of doing anything, other than

And this is not the case in “Liking What You See.”  When only some people have calli, there will be people around calliagnosia “users” that do not.  And since calli only inhibits people from perceiving a person’s physical attractiveness, people with calli will be able to see if someone without calli thinks of another person as attractive or unattractive.  For example, if two people, Person A (with calli) and Person B (without calli), were talking to someone who is

In today’s society, people are constantly being judged based on their physical appearance; lacking aesthetics in any way may lead to rejection. In Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, Shelley created characters that experienced what was going on in society during her day and what is still present in society today.
