It makes me very nervous watching patents issued to corporations for novel genes.

I can’t say much on the subject - but I keep my mind open. The courts are important, I see your points - but they know how to use experts. Which presents plenty of problems as well. Like I said in my post, what may seem to be - and IS - obvious (odds 1 out of 3 trillion are extremely low in our life experience) may be very far from obvious when dealing with viruses and molecules… where such very low odds events are the result of maybe trillions of trillions of trillions of various combinations. Suddenly, such low odds may turn out to be pretty routine. Remember the monkey randomly hacking away at a keyboard - give it enough time, and at some point, in the fullness of time, the monkey will reproduce Shakespeare’s works. So, it’s best not to be caught up - and to move slowly.
