Creation

Science has progressed so much. Many of the things we dreamt of decades earlier, have become reality. In communications - we can talk face to face (we see the face, don't we?)with people who are thousands of kilometers away. We can get any information, get any answer instantly. We can even ask robots to solve complicated problems for us.

But one thing we have not accomplished so far is playing God - that is to create life. We are still not able to create humans or other living organisms. May be we might have created a virus or ten. But not larger organisms. 

What if we can create humans, make them like us and let them loose on the ground. Will they have emotions like us? Will they be conscious? Will they have moral values like us? Most important of all, will they feel remorse, guilt and self-doubt like us?

That is the story line of  the Sci-fi series Westworld. In that Dolores - a pretty young girl - robotic girl, keeps asking 'Did I do anything wrong?'. 'Did I say anything wrong?' Bernard, another robot is tortured by memory of his young son who died of cancer. Until one day, he comes to know that, this was just a back story implanted in him by his 'creator'.  

Nothing good can ever come if man wants to play God. But will that stop him from trying?
