Both the bear and the Creature were changed from their original shapes. Both of them also killed an innocent by grabbing them and squeezing them and then they ran off until they realized that they were alone. Also they both ran to the mountains after the kill. They both then found a home that had a burrow that they could fit into and they both stayed in their individual burrows for multiple weeks. Neither of these homes were empty. However, "The Heart of a Bear" is based in common time while Frankenstein is base many years in the past. The people in the house in "Heart of a Bear" were happy as well and instead of a grandfather they had a baby. The bear and the Creature both found themselves and began to think of themselves as human. The bear even tried to walk and talk. Both the creature and the bear found solace in the families. They both also tried to talk and explain themselves to the "weakest" of the family. The bear tried to talk to the woman and the creature tried to talk to the blind man. In both cases the creatures were rejected. The bear ate the woman and killed the man when he was rejected while the Creature just ran away. The bear, unlike the creature, found compassion for the baby that was still alive. The bear was also able to change himself enough to look more human and was even able to take care of the baby. The bear also was able to stay in society for a longer amount of time than the Creature. However, in the end he ended up running back through the forest just like the creature. Both, in the end, did not succeed as humans.

When it comes to stem cell research I believe that scientists should be able to do research to see if this is a viable option for helping people in the future. I think that if we can take eggs that would have otherwise been disposed of and use them in productive ways we should. I know that some people are very weary about using fertilized eggs for a process that will make the fertilized egg no longer viable. This is a very valid concern which is why I think that there should also be clearly outlined regulations on any research that is done. The eggs need to be treated with respect and the scientists should know what they are going to do before they start working on the egg. We should restrict where the eggs come from as well. They should be eggs that are either donated to the research or they should be eggs that were going to be disposed of. For example, eggs that were going to be used for in vitro fertilization that were never implanted would be a viable option for research. All of the research must also be very carefully monitored to make sure that the eggs are being put to good use.
