"For example, take the case of cows. Now in recent times people use Artificial Insemination to impregnate cows. So it is not only the case of plants that we produce hybrid variety. Even in animal also like these are performed. We will discuss more about them in next class." saying that the professor left the class.

"Isn't it unethical?" Shruti wondered

"All is fair in biotechnology" her friend shrugged.

Shruti rolled her eyes.

"Poor cows." she muttered.

"Hey, you really need to join in blue cross" her friend Shalini teased.

"Shut up Shalini. How can they deprive cows from having intercourse?"

Shalini spilled the drink when she heard her friend speaking openly about it.

"What? Since when did you start to think about $ex life of cow?" Shalini wondered.

"Come on, it isn't about just $ex! It is something against nature. There certain things that has to be done in certain ways." Shurti started to speak like typical sociologist.

"Seriously you need to be in sociology class and not in biotechnology."

Shruti sighed.

"Shruti why are you taking everything in wrong way? For few minutes keep your 'I-support-nature' character down and think from biotechnologist point of view. Don't you think the ethical committee wouldn't have thought about the consequences? Think Shruti. I agree that what we are doing is opposite to nature principal. Before that you answer me this, why do cow need to be impregnanted again and again?" Shalini asked her.

"For milk." Shruti frowned while thinking about the question.

"For more milk." Shalini corrected her.

"Milk to meet the world population. Not only cow right, every vegetables are now hybrid. Reason is to meet some 'need'. Just like 'All is fair in love and war', we almost need to accept that 'All is fair for the need'"

Shurti couldn't help but laugh at the memory. She fought with her for cow that day, now she herself is in terms to under go Artificial Insemination.

"Shurti" a familiar voice called her out.

She turned to the source of voice and saw Viswa, Project Leader of another project, along with his wife.

"You are here?" he asked her.

"General Checkup." she lied as she didn't want to tell everyone unless she gets pregnant.

"You both?" she asked.

He waved a report in front of her, with a smile.

"You both are expecting? Wow! Congratulations" she said to both.

They thanked her and sat beside her, waiting for the nurse to call in.

She observed how Viswa was taking care of his wife.

They are cute! She thought.

Even she wanted someone to take care of her like this.

No Shruti! Don't expect too much. What if I get husband like Vijay? He might leave me. In this matter, I could save myself from another heartbreak.

"Shruti. Now you can meet the doctor." a nurse announced that.

She took a deep breath and entered the Dr. Sanchana's cabin.
