20% of Your DNA Is Not Yours
According to this Sunday's Parade Intelligence Report, "1/5 of your genes belong to someone else." Following the sequencing of the human genome, university labs and private firms have been granted patents giving them ownership over 20% of DNA. Other than just being creepy, why should you care?
- Labs can refuse to allow others to research a certain gene
- Owners are charging up to $3000 for life-saving genetic tests
- Uncertainty causes some scientists to avoid potentially important studies
- Some are refusing to report deaths caused by experimental research under the auspices of "trade secrets"
(Just a thought: Though I don't know much about tort law, what would the potential liability be for those who own the gene which causes, say, Alzheimer's disease? I think a successful wrongful death suit would stop this trend rather quickly...)
