Answer:

The subtitle to the novel Frankenstein is The Modern Prometheus. This gives a clear suggestion that scientific discoveries and implementations are double-edged swords; Prometheus gave mankind fire, which can light, cook, and heat or melt, burn and destroy. In creating the monster, Dr. Frankenstein gives mankind the power of life over death -- both boon and curse. So it remains with any scientific discovery. The parallel between the monster and cloning is a good one -- guidelines will be in place as the technology advances, not to limit scientific inquiry but to help avoid the monsters that can be created.
