 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

When we ask the question who's life is it anyways, we aren't kidding
The race to identify our genetic makeup was equaled only by the rush by the biotech Industry to patent this genes
That's right
Patent them
Just like Thomas Edison's lightbulb
Over a thousand human genes have already and thousands more are pending
Which means that chances are
Your genetic structure and mine
Our most private property
Could well belong to someone else
Doctors are scanning the globe looking at patients as potential treasure troves because They can use your blood to find a very lucrative gene

The late Jonas Salk came out with a polio vaccine and when he was asked if he would Patent it, he said quite famously
Could you patent the sun
Could you patent the sun
Could you patent the sun
Could you patent the sun
Could you patent the sun
Could you patent the sun
Could you patent the sun
Could you patent the sun

How did we get to where altruistic medicine has come to this
I think that greed has become a cultural value
We never knew they had even applied for a patent
Nobody ever asked us if we would consent to that
Nor did they ever portray that as their intent
The whole guise under which this research was conducted was to serve mankind
Not to make money

They can name their prices
The fee for looking in my body is two thousands dollars to Myriad genetics
My doctor can not look in my own body at my own breast cancer gene without paying a Royalty to myriad genetics
This is absurd
Why should something in my body
Belong essentially to that company
This is wrong
You know, you're so right about that, but they say
And I'm appalled cause I'm a lawyer
They say
But it's legal
