A familiar creation myth can be scaled down to intimate questions of care. Watch whether making life establishes a responsibility that its maker is prepared to accept. The familiar name can encourage an audience to assume the ethical problem before this version has established it. Set that recognition aside long enough to follow the acts of care and neglect: the meaningful distinction is between creating a body and sustaining a relationship with it.
