Using Science for Piracy and Robbery: Patents for Living - TopicsExpress

Using Science for Piracy and Robbery: Patents for Living Organisms Based on Erroneous Supreme Court Ruling "A patent means that the patent holder has ownership rights and the right to collect royalties. Patents on living organisms were illegal until 1980 when an unprecedented US Supreme Court decision (Diamond vs. Chakrabarty) allowed a patent for genetically modified bacteria used for “eating” oil spills. Lawyers and judges are not trained in science and have limited understanding, so it is not surprising that this Supreme Court ruling was a mistake and a result failure to understand the science. This unprecedented ruling is a disaster and should be overturned as soon as possible. Perhaps a better approach would be for Congress to pass new patent laws which clearly state unequivocally and with no exceptions, that living organisms cannot be patented. GMO Patents Revoke Our Inalienable Right to Life The signers of the Declaration of Independence deemed it a "self evident truth" that all men are "endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights". These rights are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and these rights cannot be taken away, violated, or transferred. They are the most fundamental set of human rights, as the basic necessity of our human survival. Food is life, so therefore, included in these inalienable rights is the right to sustain life by planting and harvesting crops for food. In order to fully exercise these inalienable rights, and as a basic necessity for survival, the individual has the inalienable right to the free and open use of the natural plant and animal world, also known as farming. GMO Patents which grant corporate ownership of seed stock and living organisms revokes these inalienable human rights to life, and grants ownership to Monsanto. This is unethical, immoral and expressly prohibited by our Constitution. This ruling must be overturned. There can be no patent for Life because Life is not an invention of man; Life is an invention of the Creator given to man as an inalienable Right." bioidenticalhormones101/GMO_Food_Scandal.html
