About two years ago, Amanda and I watched an amazing documentary at the 'Michigan' theatre in Ann Arbor called 'The Corporation'. A small section of the film discussed the likliness that after scientist finish mapping all of our human genes - that corporations and firms will begin to patent them individually.

Well, this morning I saw an artical on National Geographic's site stating that already - since I belive they just within the last year finished mapping all the human genes - firms and universities have patented over 20 percent, or over 4,000 of the 24,000 genes - of that 20 percent, 63 percent are assigned to private firms.
