The Power of Life

If I were given the power to create life, as Frankenstein did, I am pretty sure that I would not use it.


One reason why I think I wouldn't is because I believe that there is a reason why we have been put on this earth at this time period, and that we have been given life because we have purpose. Our mere existence is a miracle! If we were to create life, then would not our existence lose its incredibleness?  Would that lessen our purpose?  Even if we were to create life, what would make it so great?  It would be just like any other man made thing and then life would lose it's value.  That's what makes all living things so amazing!  We did not create it, thus we will always have something that is completely natural. 


Another reason why is because I do not believe we have the right to create life.  If we were to create life, then losing a life would not seem as big of a deal as it is now.  Then wars would get a lot worse because no one would worry about the people killed, more can always be created.  Our precious gift of life would lose its value.  We would almost be seen and treated like animals are seen now.  Do we really want to turn our lives into that?


For me, my answer would be obvious, but there are those who are selfish and only think of the benefits they could achieve from the knowledge of creating life.  I would hate to lose my respect for my and other's lives, thus I believe that I would not use the power to create life if I had it.
