Frankenstein's Monster
A term invoking the fictional character and referring to perhaps one of the many metaphors of science, creation, and power — including "the division of property, of immense wealth and squalid poverty." (from Mary Shelley herself), but also the tragic results of uncontrolled scientific progress, and humankind's propensity for ownership of biological processes, including death.

Origin
From Mary Shelley's 1818 novel, "Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus". Shelley's title thus compares the monster's creator, Victor Frankenstein, to the mythological character Prometheus, who fashioned humans out of clay and gave them fire.
