One good move

From the NY Times:
The Supreme Court has thrown out a lower court ruling allowing human genes to be patented, a topic of enormous interest to cancer researchers, patients and drug makers.

The court on Monday overturned patents belonging to Myriad Genetics Inc. of Salt Lake City on two genes linked to increased risk of breast and ovarian cancer...

The high court said it sent the case back for rehearing because of its decision in another case last week saying that the laws of nature are unpatentable.
They can not take from us our genes!
