Nobel Prize should not be given to rascals
Life Comes from Life - Morning walk, April 19th 1973, Chevot Hills Park, LA
Karandhara: Babies are already being produced by nature, but when some scientist does it, people will give him the Nobel Prize.
Prabhupada: Yes, that is stated in Shrimad Bhagavatam "Those who praise men who are like animals are no better than dogs, hogs, camels and asses." If the Nobel Prize is given to a scientist who is a rascal, the men on the committee who give him that prize are not better than dogs, hogs, camels and asses. We don't accept them as human beings. One animal is praised by another animal. Where is the credit in that? If the men on the committee are no better than animals, anyone who receives the Nobel Prize in science is fool number one, because animals are praising him, not human beings.
