Shelley warns the audience that we, as the creators, must take care of our surroundings or the outcomes could be fatal. These warnings continue to resonate with 21st century audiences, and it seems that the warnings are almost more important today, in an age of environmental breakdown and the use of nature as a commodity. Shelley also examines the moral responsibility of the scientist, and how far humans can go in their quest to be the creators. This moral responsibility is also examined in Scott’s Blade Runner. In Frankenstein, the ideas of cloning and the ability of human science has only started to catch on with small numbers of scientists such as Frankenstein, whereas in Blade Runner the human ability to create and control has manifested itself on a global, corporate scale.

The Environmental Protection Agency was established in 1970 under then president Richard Nixon who believed there was a need to establish a government agency that would oversee national efforts to preserve the environment. As noted by writer Jack Lewis, “The Nixon Administration, although preoccupied with an unpopular war and a recession-ridden economy, took some stopgap action on the environmental front in 1969. In May, President Nixon had set up a Cabinet-level Environmental Quality Council as well as a Citizens' Advisory Committee on Environmental Quality” (Lewis, 1985) The Nixon administration forged forward set clear parameters for the new governmental branch that would oversee everything to do with protecting our environment. As noted by Jack Lewis, “President Nixon called for "a strong, independent agency."
