Question
Should a company be allowed to patent a life form?Does it matter if the life form is a non-sentient organism like a plant?Is there a place where the law can ethically draw a line between life as property and life as beyond any person or business appropriation?
In considering these questions read:Assn for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics, Inc. (2013), at https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/12pdf/12-398_1b7d.pdf
