Part III. Chimera

Chapter 67 Invasion into human body (2)

 

There had been a fierce competition for survival among species on the Earth. Among them, human beings stood at the top the species. Human beings became the strongest creature on the Earth in just a few million years. It might be better to call it the most violent rather than the strongest. They began to proliferate abnormally. The number of human beings was only about 300 million two thousand years ago, but now exceeded 8 billion.

 

Human fertility, however, was not uniform and differed from race to race. Palestinian Arabs continue to increase in Israel more than Jews. The day was not far off when Jews would become a minority in Israel. Shy-Rock was strongly wary of the fact, whereas Dr. Girgo was ambitious.

 

It was at just such a time that Dr. Girgo discovered Galaxy which was a parasite of Oryx. Speculations of Shy-Rock and Girgo were fit each other. Girgo tried to rewrite the genetic information of Galaxy extracted from Oryx's ovary. He cut the genetic chain and tried to implant it with the genetic information extracted from the egg cell of a Palestinian woman.


 
He speculated that if the experiment was successful, the Galaxy was able to be transferred from Oryx to human beings. It was the good opportunity for the Galaxy which wanted to migrate from Oryx to the strongest species. To migrate to a different species was usually required mutation. That was left to the rare chance of nature. Galaxy couldn’t mutate itself. That was entrusted in the hand of the Creator. However, Girgo believed that he had achieved the mutation with his own hands.

 

It was homicide to kill humans who appeared in the real world. But it was not homicide to terminate egg cell before it became humans. It was not legally murder. But it was an outrage against humanity. The experiment on the Palestinians had a serious problem.
