Both Moitra and Shelley explore the creator’s responsibility toward engineered life. Victor Frankenstein abandons his creature in horror; Mira Sen initially admires her creation but then fears its misuse. However, unlike Frankenstein, Mira does not destroy her creation—she liberates it. Shelley warns that rejection breeds monstrosity. Moitra suggests that commodification does. Furthermore, Shelley’s monster seeks human connection; Moitra’s bacterium simply seeks to live and change. Moitra updates the gothic tale for the age of synthetic biology, replacing gothic horror with capitalist horror. Both stories ask: What do we owe what we make? But Moitra adds: What does what we make owe to the world? Her answer: nothing—it is free.
