Do you like watching science-fiction movies? If YES, so do I. I really like watching science-fiction movies, because these involve fantasy and horror which are my favorites too; likewise, because strange things or creatures, like aliens, parahumans, etc. interest me.


Have you seen parahumans? A parahuman is a human-animal hybrid. If you haven't seen any yet, you better watch the movie " Prince Caspian- The Chronicles of Narnia". This is a very nice movie, and you can see lots of parahumans in it.


I know that parahumans exist only on paintings, books or movies, thus I was shocked when I read the news about the possible existence of parahumans.


According to the news, scientists in Britain have been granted permission to create human-animal hybrid embryos by injecting human DNA into cows' eggs for stem cell research.

Instead of using human eggs, the researchers will remove the nuclei from cows' eggs and replace them with cells from the patients to create cloned stem cell lines that contain the same genetic mutation that results in these neurological disorders.

The hybrid embryo would be 99.9 percent human. The only bovine element would be found in DNA outside the nucleus of the cell.

Moreover, the scientists said the hybrid human-bovine embryos could prove useful in pursuing treatments to prevent Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's, as well as spinal cord injuries, diabetes and arthritis.

However, the proposal has appalled critics of stem cell research, who slam the idea of creating so-called "chimera" (see: Chimera (genetics)) embryos as an unethical and potentially dangerous practice.


Well, the thought of having parahuman neighbors, colleagues or presidents, etc. excites me. If in case the existence of parahumans is possible, the existence of all the strange creatures in science-fiction movies will be possible too.

But one thing I'm sure of, there will be advantages and disadvantages of parahuman existence. Whatever these are, I'll just wait; and, I'm hoping that there will be more advantages than disadvantages.

Thus, I think having intelligent minds and inventing new technologies are at times hazardous.

Nutrition tips to improve mood, memory, muscles and more

Sardines For Heart Health

Ounce for ounce, sardines are one of the best sources for heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids and are extremely low in contaminants such as mercury and PCBs. They’re also eco-friendly, packed with protein, and low in saturated fat.

Brazil Nuts For Prostate Health

Brazil nuts are one of the richest food sources of selenium, a mineral that may reduce a man’s risk of developing prostate cancer. Selenium may be toxic if taken in daily doses of more than 400 micrograms (mcg).

Edamame For Mood

Mood is affected by a combination of factors, including brain chemistry, life events, and the foods you eat. Of these, only diet is under your control. Fiber-rich carbohydrates such as oats and edamame (green soybeans in the pod) help prevent mood fluctuations by keeping your blood-sugar levels steady. Edamame also contain protein, which further helps stabilize blood sugar, and omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to help combat depression.

Sesame Seeds For Sex Drive

They’re inexpensive, safe, and don’t require a prescription. They’re also very rich in the amino acid arginine, which is involved in synthesizing nitric oxide, a compound that enhances blood flow through the arteries and—ahem—to various other male body parts.

Blueberries For Memory

Did you know that much of their power lies in their color? That deep blue hue is caused by flavonoids—natural compounds that protect the brain’s memory-carrying cells (neurons) from the negative effects of oxidation and inflammation. Buy firm-fleshed berries or, off-season, try frozen, unsweetened varieties. Eat with plain yogurt, as a topping for cereal, or right out of the bowl.

Lentils For Energy

Rich in fiber and protein—both of which are digested slowly—lentils provide a steady source of energy. They’re also a good source of several B vitamins essential to energy production, as well as iron, which helps red blood cells carry oxygen. Try whipping up a big batch of lentil soup, and you’ll have a hearty lunch for days.
