DNA patenting has emerged as a hot topic in science policy and
bioethics as private companies and government agencies spend
billions of dollars on genetic research and development in a race
to identify, sequence, and analyze DNA from human, animal, and
plant species. David B. Resnik's Owning the Genome explores the
ethical, social, philosophical, theological, and policy issues
surrounding DNA patenting and develops a comprehensive approach to
the topic. Resnik considers arguments for and against DNA patenting
and concludes that only a patent on a whole human genome would be
inherently immoral, while the morality of other DNA patents depends
on their consequences for science, medicine, agriculture, industry,
and society. He also stresses the importance of government
regulations and policies in order to minimize the harmful effects
of patenting while promoting the beneficial ones.
