Human-animal mix creatures

This year’s Noble prize for medicine goes to the group of people working on stem cell research. The research has innumerable benefits in terms of investigating various diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, at molecular level and provides possibilities of genetic therapies and to create healthy new tissue in the laboratories. From reading genetic code one can go for writing the code, the way one wants it! Man is trying to attain God’s level.

For example, in UK scientists are allowed to create human-animal embryos for research purposes. Such embryos if implanted into a woman or an animal, may create undesirable freaky creatures. Hence, though the research and other cloning techniques have immense benefits in medicine, it is banned in many countries fearing misuse. Caution is the key.

Within a few years, don’t be surprised if one finds creatures, half human and half animals (seen in Hindu mythology) standing in Queue next to you! The group of man-made freak creatures will ask for reservations in higher education in line with the reservation of the Schedule Castes and Tribes in India. Be ready for more competitions!
