Non-linear, online science-fiction story about the creation of a living organism made out of human cells. How complex is this scientific process and what are the ethical implications?
Cornelis Vlasman is a versatile, unconventional biologist who dares to deploy his own body cells to develop a living organism. He does so in cooperation with a self-chosen team of scientists and his own science lab. In this non-linear, online science-fiction story, which is thematically reminiscent of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, more than fifty clickable videos disclose how the process works, which complex problems the team runs into and which ethical issues pop up.
