FREDERICK: What I have to offer you may possibly be the gateway to immortality.

If this is the gateway to immortality, where does the experiment go from here, were it to continue? How could this procedure be modified to give a normal person eternal life, or would they always have to put their brain into another person's body? All this talk about immortality; if it weren't in a Mel Brooks movie, would have serious religious overtones—resurrection, eternal life through Christ, the nature of the soul. Mary Shelley may have been thinking about this, but we doubt it was on Mel's mind.
