Charles Darwin, Alfred Russel Wallace, the Creature in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, and Eugenie Doe—the first bio-genetically created female—confront the ethical implications of engineering human life. Censure from small-minded moralists and the tyranny of organized religion threatens to halt science and their survival.
