Anyone can use it. [/quote] No what it means is that a company can not own your dna like they were trying to. A company had patented the "breast cancer" gene because they found it. So the charge for the test screening was over thousands of dollars instead of the hundred or so dollars normal screening tests run. You own your DNA, companies do not, now that is law. [/quote] Thanks for the information. Corporations had applied for patents on about 20% of human DNA along with patents on DNA occurring in nature in an attempt to stifle the use of natural remedies. Is this thread being hounded by less tan intelligent people, or are the shills still at work? [/quote]
