1. In Hindu mythology, humans (Devas and Asuras) churn the ocean and got Amrita/Nectar to attain immortality.
Devas pirated/tricked Amrita from Asuras after their teamwork.
2. In modern times, humans found Sea Squirts living in the ocean having the cure for cancer cells.
In modern times, rich countries may do Biopiracy against poor countries. They may fail to share the fair share with poor.
Note: Sea squirts are among an endless list of animals, plants, and microbes that stand to improve human lives. They also produce chemical compounds to defend themselves that are known to damage cancer cells.
Researchers estimate that an astonishing 70 percent of antibiotics and cancer treatments in use today are rooted in natural organisms, from plants to snakes to sea sponges.
