Mini-Monsters with Multiple Heads Created in the Lab - Savannah Ghermay

https://www.livescience.com/64536-hydra-with-multiple-heads-created.html

Scientists have figured out a way to create literal hydras that can sprout fully functional heads. After hunting and searching close relatives, for the first time, scientists have found out a way to control the rate at which they are growing.

This is an amazing discovery and a huge step forward in science. regeneration has always existed before, for example, starfish. However to see that we are now able to modify this is incredible. I think it is important to acknowledge the small discoveries in science only because they often can lead to something much bigger in the future. regeneration of limbs is something that could be modified in people far off in the future if we continue exploring these modifications.

  1. I think this could either be a good discovery or a really bad one. From what had happened in history people tend to use things meant for good and use them for bad.
