Who Owns You: The Corporate Gold Rush to Patent Your Genes (Blackwell Public Philosophy Series)

Description

Review
"We live in a century when quandaries that seemed more appropriate for science fiction will become real. I suspect, for example, that many people would be outraged to find out that large parts of their genome--the genetic code that largely defines the distinct features of their own humanity--are patented, and therefore "owned" by others. David Koepsell here raises a set of fascinating questions that all of us, and policy makers in particular, should ponder as science is slowly redefining what it means to human."
–Lawrence Krauss, Arizona State University

"A lucid and compelling deconstruction of current practice in the patenting of human genes, exposing inherent contradictions in the process and offering practical ways to resolve them."
–John Sulston, The University of Manchester, Nobel Prize Laureate

"Who Owns You? Is an authoritative, well-argued and clear discussion of a topical, serious problem. The author raises a number of tough philosophical, legal and political questions, starting with the possible infringement on the most basic of all rights, that of owning oneself. I know of no comparable work on the question of DNA property rights. Who Owns You? is bound to become obligatory reading on this thorniest of issues."
–Mario Bunge, McGill University












In the primary, you do not 'own' ur self. You r the conglomorate product of timeless pre-existing materials that evolved and refined into the basic building blocks of life, ur fathers jizz and ur moms egg. (Fags take note of this) Following that 'merger' u were thereafter sustained by nutrients produced by many levels of corporate structure, OWNED and sold products of labor, i.e. FOOD. Hwever, these food transactions were the product of the transfer of said ownership by commerce. It could b argued that ALL substance is not owned by any derived 'product'. Who owns the 'process'? (Athiests, ur fucked here bcauz u don't believe in anything!)
Bottom line is this; "God" owns EVERYTHING, government (OR science) didn't create u...so u simply tell them to fuck-off! enjoy... or ponder
