Frankensteins Followers. Maintenance of human cells outside the body. Issue 1. Walter Pfaller and Paul Jennings Prefer to read it yourself : https://frankensteinsfollower.eu/ Although science can endeavour to do a great many things, unachievable thus far, these activities should be, but seldom are, tempered with the question, should we really do it? This is not necessarily implying a moral code to scientific activity, but at least suggests that we probably should consider the long-term consequences of certain scientific activities to human society and the environment. Indeed, scientists have struggled with the consequences of their discoveries, not least Nobel himself, who set up the Nobel prize as a reaction to being called “The father of death”, due to his discovery and financial success with dynamite. Here, we set out the basis for a series of articles entitled, Frankenstein’s Followers, Maintenance and propagation of human cells outside the body. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0887233322000844 https://www.moltox.chem.vu.nl/FF.html

Because Paul and Max are in vitro Toxicologist they thought it would be nice to define cells (sort of) and ended up discussion what life is ....
