I think they are going to have to make some firm laws about what living things can be patented and what cannot be and how these patents can be used. Imagine a human who has had a gene or set of genes altered so they do not suffer from the affects of terrible disease like Tay-sachs or Cystic fibrosis. What if they wish to have children to whom they will pass this trait. Much research went into that but should someone be prevented from having children or pay/ask permission from a corporation to have a child? This is sort of what is happening with plants and certain animals already. The day is coming....
