Think Gene Patents Are Controversial Now? Just Wait
,----[ Quote ]
| Of course, the $1,000 genome is likely
| years away, and those who favor exclusive
| patents on diagnostics say theyâre
| necessary for companies to make their money
| back on research and development.
|
| But exclusive patents may already be
| keeping some patients in the dark, the WSJ
| article says. It describes a new method of
| genetic testing called chromosomal
| microarrays that can pick up chromosomal
| abnormalities in the genome. Whatâs a
| doctor to do if that kind of analysis
| encompasses a gene thatâs already patented
| â tell the patient or stick to the letter
| of the law?
