BBC Radio 4 - In Business, Gene Patenting

This is a very interesting debate and great plug for QuantuMDx Group Limited by our medical director Prof. Sir John Burn. I think Berwyn Clarke makes some valid points. This issue isn't as black and white as many people think. 

There must be a compromise!

"Ever since the mapping of the human genome was completed 10 years ago medical companies have been rushing to patent genes that define all of us for their own exclusive use. Now the US Supreme Court has ruled against patenting things found in nature. Peter Day asks what this means for the biotech business.and for the future of healthcare."
