Dr Moreau Quotes

People have free will. People have the ability to choose right from wrong. With this responsibility people need to think about the outcome of actions and how it will affect society.

In The island of Dr. Moreau, Dr. Moreau and his friend Montgomery try to turn animals into humans. When Dr. Moreau decided to do this he did not considered the possible results. This is made clear in the book because why would a person in their right mind want to make something that could potentially kill them? On page 316 Dr. Moreau says, "For 17 years I have been striving to create a... some measure of refinement in the human species you see. And it is here, on this very island, that I sir, have found the very essence of the Devil." He also said, "the creatures I had seen were not men, had never been men. They were animals - humanised animals - triumphs of vivisection." These quotes are saying that he knows he has done wrong. After 17 years of torturing animals Dr. Moreau may have realized that what he has been doing is playing into the tricks of the devil. The devil is trying to destroy God’s creation and turn it into genetically made mutated humans. On page 156

Montgomery says, "animal rights activists drove him out of the States. It got so bad you couldn't cage a rat without reading him his rights.” Animals do not have rights, they do not vote, marry, nor pay bills. The New York Times says, "if they had such rights, they would, among other things, have to be held accountable for killing or maiming fellow animals in the wilds.”
In 1988 a court case in Canada said, “ When this case was heard, a woman had to get approval from the therapeutic abortion committee of an approved hospital before she could get an abortion. Abortions done without this approval were illegal. Three doctors, including Dr. Morgentaler, set up a clinic to perform abortions for women who did not have the necessary approval and the doctors were criminally charged. People argued that the abortion laws violated a woman’s right to security of the person under
s. 7 of the Charter." The supreme court of Canada decided that it was unconstitutional to take the life of a human being because abortion increases the health risk of women. Part of society approved of this choice, while the other part did not.
Why is the society as earlier quoted "reading a rat his rights,” while the government is trying to decide if a little innocent baby has rights?

In a time with so much technical advancements, like ultrasound, people are still able to justify abortion by claiming it is not a human being. This has gone too far. Page 474 quotes, "indurated was I at that time to the abomination of the place, that I heard without a touch of emotion the puma victim begin another day of torture." When you create something that is against natural law, His law, and put innocent people or animals into danger it's gone too far. Animals will never be humans. Animals and humans are two different distinct creatures. While similar in some ways very uniquely different in others. The human has an immortal soul while animals do

not.
Matthew 12:36 says "I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak." This bible verse says all the things in life they have done to their brothers and sisters will be judged at the right hand of the father.
The Lord God determines right from wrong. God has allowed his people to have free will since the beginning of time and will until the very last human on earth. God has been since the beginning of time and will to the end of time. This is why God determines right from wrong. The government makes laws, and yes they determine right from wrong on earth, but congressmen, senators, the President and other people of high authority are normal people. They are sinners, they have made wrong choices before and this is why God holds the ultimate judgment. Second Timothy 2:26 says "and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will."
The book does not mention a specific reason why Dr. Moreau and Montgomery wanted to turn animals into humans. They may have done this just because they can or because they had nothing better to do. In life things will be legal but not the right thing to do.
In The Island of Dr. Moreau, it was not made clear if changing animals into humans was legal or illegal. Either way, is it the right thing to do? Is changing a creature God made to find its own food, live outside in nature, and to roam the land seem against natural law? “Look at the birds in the sky they do not sow or reap… yet your father in heaven feeds them. Are you not more important than them?” Matthew 6:26. In a society, if people accept taking a wonderfully made creature and turning it into something that could cause harm on people, what will people accept next? Just because something is legal doesn't mean it's right as Dr. Moreau and Montgomery came to understand.
Society is responsible for making the right decisions. The government was created to uphold the laws of the Lord and his land. However, the government is not always working to uphold the law of the land. Many have upheld the laws while others have strayed from the land of the free, where God is at the center, the core! For example, on January 16, 2013 President Obama proposes a ban on certain types of guns. CBS News says, "Congress passed the original assault weapons ban in 1994, thus imposing a 10-year ban on 19 types of military style assault weapons including semi-automatic rifles and pistols like AK-47s and Uzis" this is saying Mr. Obama wants to ban certain types of guns but America's constitutional Second Amendment states, "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." Guns can help protect people. People have abused this luxury which has resulted in murders by way of school shootings and suicide. The deaths by guns is due to people's choice to take evil actions into their own hands regardless of the laws. Criminals will always find a way to kill. Will the government outlaw knives next?
People in today's society are now confused on what love and marriage is. Who should be allowed to marry who? Our government just redefined marriage. Marriage which was created and still is today a Sacrament to be made in the church. It is a promise to God that male and female would work for the greater good to work to get their spouse to heaven and bear children naturally for His greater glory. The government might call it marriage, however it is not and never will be in God's eyes. Rather it is living in great mortal sin.
In Leviticus 20:13 it says, "If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination, they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them."
God warns about same- sex marriage. When people turn to earthly leaders the end decision may be different.
NCLS says, "before the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on Oct. 6, 2014, declining to hear cases on same-sex marriage, 31 states had either constitutional or statutory provisions that explicitly defined marriage as between a man and a woman and just 19 states and the District of Columbia allowed same-sex marriage.” On June 26, 2015 the U.S supreme court ruled same sex marriage is legal in the United States. Choices? Right from wrong? God versus Government? Good versus evil? Humans will always have to fight the internal will of the soul in order to make choices.
