2018 marked the bicentenary of Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein: The Modern Prometheus. Frankenstein is a tragic narrative that addresses the human capacity to provide “artificial life” to a body through science and the craftiness of technique. This work aims to address the uses of the body by science based on Frankenstein, stressing some mythical/tragic conflicts and assumptions that Shelley highlights in her work. The article also discusses the possibilities for manipulating nature based on molecular knowledge that guides the construction of new forms of Frankensteins and bodies, which rejects tissue stitching, prostheses, couplings and cyborgisms while valuing internal colonization of life itself.
