Last week I was watching a Nova program on PBS called
'Cracking the Code of Life', which brought to my attention a disturbing fact about the process of mapping the Human Genome; private companies have applied for patents for gene sequences that they've mapped. Many of these patents were applied for before the government began the
Human Genome Project. Although the patent office has put these applications on hold until it figures out what to do with them, many drug companies an researchers
won't work with a gene sequence if there is a patent application outstanding. You can get involved yourself by
petitioning against patents on life.

Did anyone catch
60 Minutes II last night, and their piece on inventor
Dean Kamin? After watching this show I felt that the hype surrounding "IT" may not be unfounded. His company's inventions are truly revolutionary. Plus, the guy has some really cool homes that make Bill Gates' mansion look boring.
