Grrrrrrrrr... (Score 1)

Okay, there are a couple of things I want to comment on here: First off, I think these companies are given far too much legal freedom. There should be tougher laws governing just how far is too far, and shut down any companies that tread too close to that fine line. Second, I can't believe this company has the gall to try to patent pieces of DNA. Some people I know argue that this is happening so that they can protect their research, so that somebody doesn't come along and call it their own, but unless I'm mistaken, this falls under the intellectual property rights. This is just yet another corperation trying to set up an international monopoly, but this time they aren't working toward owning the OS market, or even the water supplies, they're trying to own us! And I don't think anybody should stand for that. The day anybody owns a piece of me is the day I go postal. Last but not least, DNA is used in 6 billion humans, and untold trillions of animals, plants, insects, micro-organisms, and virii. Who really owns it? Definitely not some genetics company.
