I have not read The Island of Dr. Moreau book but have seen the 2 films. Being an animal lover, I was highly interested in this subject. It also brings us around again to the question Dr. Malcom (Jeff Goldblum) asks in Jurassic Park: Just becuz we CAN do something, SHOULD WE?? And this was exactly what Michael Yorke asks the good Dr. Moreau in the 1st film, which infuriated Burt Lancaster's character for he was looking for an allie. He did not find one.
Combining human & animal DNA to 'create' a kind of 'human/animal'?? For what purpose?!?? Isn't what God created good enough?!? Or I should say, GREAT enough?!?? I say it is & there is no need to tamper with it just becuz you can. The suffering endured by what Moreau 'created' was horrendous! They needed to be put out of their misery! Thankfully, they were after the island went up in flames.
I have no good comments about the 2nd film starring Marlon Brando. It was nothing short of ridiculous & a poor excuse to display a human orgy! Uggh!!
