It’s wonderful that we now live in an age where the human genome has been cracked and we can stop diseases once thought to be unstoppable. The unfortunate part is that we also live in an age where such achievements can be copyrighted as intellectual property. Can’t we just leave the ridiculous disputes to awful indie bands: http://lawblog.legalmatch.com/2010/03/01/an-emerging-poor-may-mean-an-emerging-need-to-walk-away-from-your-home-mortgage/
That way we can leave the important achievements for the world at large.
