So the good news is that the US Supreme Court threw out the demand by some pharmaceutical company or other, they're all the same after all, to patent human DNA. The bad news is, there is always some, that this does not seem to have attracted the wide media attention I think it deserves.
It would have been interesting if the US had allowed the patent I wonder if the rest of the world would have said 'fuck off' or the equivalent in diplomatic terms, but you know I doubt it. The world would have hummed and harred and done nothing to prevent such an appalling and incredible act.
I also wonder if the judgement means there will now be less research and that does worry me.
