Terra X Mythos Frankenstein (2017)

Where does human consciousness begin, where does it end? When is it presumptuous to intervene in life? Mary Shelley deals with these questions in her world-famous novel "Frankenstein" - today scientists are asking the same question again. Equally present is the concern that we can no longer control the spirits we summon. "If you have a ghost in a bottle, it will come out sooner or later," says philosopher Nick Bostrom. "So you should make sure that the being you have created is good-natured. "Mythos Frankenstein" uses scenic reconstructions, current experiments, interviews with experts and documentary elements to illustrate the history and present of a myth that has preoccupied mankind since antiquity. Experts such as the philosopher Nick Bostrom, a developer of the humanoid robot "Roboy", Alois Knoll, and the expert on artificial intelligence, Damian Borth, explain why Viktor Frankenstein's Faustian quest for knowledge has more to do with us than we think.
