patent a test, or a medicine or a cure... but I don't think anyone should have the right to patent a gene, unless they created it...

*hehe* yes, you do...

[scientaestubiqu]

nothing, if you created it...

patent - A grant made by a government that confers upon the creator of an invention the sole right to make, use, and sell that invention for a set period of time.

if I found a rock, I shouldn't be able to patent it...
