Frankenstein explained by Henry C.

Victor Frankenstein always sought to find the hidden knowledge of creating life. The knowledge of creating life was a "hidden knowledge". This was because really it was know to as only God would possess this power. As a result of Victor Frankenstein accessing this knowledge he gained great power. In the end this power left him in ruin as the monster he created killed his loved ones and really was not worth it.

Scientists today access what might be hidden knowledge, hidden knowledge such as stem cell research. With the knowledge of stem cells scientists are able to grow organs, fix defects, and save lives; but this also comes with a cost of taking a life that could have been a human being. Still tampering with this knowledge will bring unknown risks and benefits still to come but at what cost? These decisions will only lead to great power and with great power comes great responsibility.
