The company won't patent a gene sequence that they don't intend to profit from. Anyone who doesn't get that is a zombie. The fact that the gene sequence occurs broadly in nature is proof we should not permit companies to patent genetic sequences, It doesn't mean that what was patented is engineered or not engineered. There is no relationship. He's trying to say if you have a green apple, that means you can't have a red apple. But a green apple turns into a red apple when it is ripe enough. Natural processes occur naturally and those processes can be engineered and patented. Genetic patenting has been a way for companies to get in the bioweapons game and make money after an attack. It is time for big changes in the law on this.
