10. These questions have become more important than ever.

这些问题变得比以往更加重要。

A sample dialogue:

F = Frankenstein; C = Clerval

F: I've recently created a new life. But out of my expectation, it is ugly and disgusting.

C: What? A new life? You must be joking!

F: It's true. The creature quite resembles a human being and is intelligent and has human emotions.

C: Incredible! What is it like?

F: Well, it is huge and strong, extremely ugly and terrifies all those who see it.

C: But why did you create such a creature?

F: I firmly believe human beings were not made by god or anything supernatural. I've found the secret of life and put it into experiments. And now I've succeeded.

F: I made it by piecing bones and brains from dead bodies together and then gave it life by exhibiting it to electricity created by a thunderstorm.

C: Do you love your creation?

F: Absolutely not. He is the ugliest thing I have ever seen. You can see the veins beneath his yellow skin. His hair is black and his teeth are white. But these things contrast horribly with his yellow eyes, his wrinkled yellow skin and black lips. I have tried to make it beautiful. Beautiful! I have worked for nearly two years with one aim only, to give life to a lifeless body. For this I have not slept and I have destroyed my health. I have wanted it more than anything in the world. But now I have finished and the beauty of dream disappeared, and horror and disgust filled my heart.

C: Then you feel regretful about what you did, right?

F: Yes. I wish I had not created this creature, I wish I was on the other side of the world, I wish I could disappear!

F: No. I have not seen him for some days and do not know where he is. Would you like to go with me to find and destroy him?

C: Sure. Let's go!

Writing

Sample version 1:

If I had the powers, I wouldn't ban cloning, but I would only allow research to be done on certain animals. I would do this because scientists don't know enough about cloning yet. For example, they don't know why cloned animals die so quickly. Once they had done plenty of research and were able to create cloned animals easily and cheaply, then I would allow scientists to experiment
