Abstract

In this research paper we focus on bioethical issues in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Robin Cook’s Mutation. Mary Shelley wrote her famous novel against technology and medical treatments that harm more than good. Mary Shelley’s work is an eye opener to our society. The issue she raises that how scientific progress harm our society. The main theme of his work is how technology turns into distraction which now-a-days is related to fear of terrorism and bioterrorism and so other disastrous things. Robin Cook who is the master of medical thriller has written Mutation on the same theme. His strategies are similar with Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.
