[kj] Oh so OT - More BP fanpics

[sade1]

   Methinks everyone should rush out to patent themselves (genetically), as a whole individual, and as unique genetic "molecules" (any given combo of one's genes) and even tissues. Also family dna should also be patented so when relatives want to harvest their own (or relatives') genes, organs or stem cells, the Man can't get in the way and profit therefrom.  =)
      Jaz Coleman has prolly already gone a step further and, um, grafted himself onto another** and is cultivating hybrid-clones, neverminding that contradiction. 

I fear for Geordie.

Ask me how to end poverty.

So, you mean, we cannot have children without a patent payment for producing the intellectual property?

Is there one for Jaz?

Forgive my conspiracy theory hair-trigger, but any time I see a story that involves genetic engineering I'll take the scientist's name and google it with the word eugenics, often to interesting results.  

I found this about Craig Venter on a site called oldthinkernews.com (and it does include links to back its claims).  

And to come full circle with Sade's comments at the start of this thread, the world IS being run by sociopaths, and like all ruling sociopaths since the beginning of history they want to be God, and what better place for a budding all-knowing being than to be manipulating the very structure of humanity . . . (you can use my google trick with any name or institution mentioned in this article for extra credit)

Craig Venter caused many to question his ethics when he moved to found Celera Genomics in 1998, carrying the study of the human genome into the private sector, using the "shotgun strategy" to sequence the human genome at a faster clip than the public project.  
In a press release dated March 1, 2001, Celera Genomics announced that it signed a "multi-year agreement" with AMDeC LLC to "allow member institutions to access Celera's database information [Human Genome data] through its Celera Discovery System." Some of those member institutions included Rockefeller University, and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. Interestingly, Rockefeller University was founded by John D. Rockefeller in 1901 with a dedication to biomedical research. Today, David Rockefeller, grandson to John D. Rockefeller Jr., is the Chairman of the Rockefeller University Council. 
Venter further maddened fellow scientists when he moved to patent human genes. Serious ethical discussions took place after the first attempts to patent human genes, but ultimately the decision stood to allow patenting. The United States Patent and Trademark Office issued guidelines on patenting. The American Medical Association describes the guidelines,
 

"The rules are intended to help end a bitter debate on gene patenting. These regulations have put to rest any question about whether genes can be patented at all -- making it clear that companies may indeed patent both whole genes as well as pieces of genes..."

> 

>The guidelines allow patenting when the those applying for a patent on a gene show a "utility" for the gene. The AMA goes on to state that arguments were heard opposing the decision based on the fact that these genes were not created by anyone, and thus could not be patented. The AMA describes how the Patent office rejected these ideas,

 

"The PTO firmly rejected this notion based upon the fact that a gene may be removed from a person, then a clone of that gene may be made in a machine, which is then not a part of nature, but a product of the lab."

> 

>A search in the online patent database for "human genes" yields an astonishing 159021 results as of August 2007.

First synthetic cell created, not from scratch but using a host cell and swapping the DNA with a DNA sequence made in the lab. Craig Venter is the guy behind it, same guy responsible for heading the team which sequenced the human genome about 10 years ago. He wants to create organisms which will produce energy, food, soak up carbon...

I hear tell, that the powers that be want to use this as an excuse to pass a bill or something to allow them to create artificial life to help them solve this problem... they could mop it all up with hay/grass clippings, but they would rather engineer something in the lab... anyone hear anything similar..??
