Rick Harrington’s Reviews > Who Owns You?: The Corporate Gold Rush to Patent Your Genes > Status Update

I had to take a break from reading for my daughter's graduation and more. Now, as I near the finish, I have these little thoughts. I'm wondering if it's possible that Dr. Koepsell doesn't realize that science was always "motivated" by quests to challenge God. And more recently, by military budgets? I also wonder if he hasn't noticed that it's not actually the genes which get patented, which he rightly points out should be absurd. But the actual "seeing" of them, which takes so much instrumentation. Why not patent sub-atomic particles, for instance, since seeing them takes so much work. Or have naming rights now fully converged with patent rights, and does this moment, as I for one surely think it does, simply signal a new era?? Post grant. Post letter of patent. Post pitting of any advantage? Read on, and find out!
