The question of patenting parts of the human genome.

Sagemindsays...

There are parts of this video that felt very much like Pro-Monsanto propaganda, though I think the feel was supposed to feel non-biased.

The idea that anyone should be able to patent natural living organisms is plain wrong in my opinion. It wasn't theirs to start with.

So when I hear that they can patent variations or modificatioons, then I start to worry about what happens when the Modified version overtakes and eliminates the natural organism. Using Corn as an example, It's just a matter of time before natural organisms will no longer exist. At least not the ones that we use.

So basically, it's just a waiting game that corporations with the money and technology have to play before they will, in the end, own everything.

Morally wrong in the end.

I think the insulin patent made in Canada was developed and sold for $1.00. Corporations are starting to run the world more and more. I'm hoping there will be leaders like Musk who try to get the civilization enhancing products to the people. If you invest you might want to ask some questions, if you lead a company it would be moral to try to help humanity. Unfortunately people like the dude who started charging 5000% or whatever it was on iirc AIDS drugs are out there in large numbers. I often fear for humanity, but I won't be around to see it's extinction I hope.
