A federal judge's decision Monday to strike down several patents on human genes could ultimately be a boon for genetic research and a benefit for public health, medical experts said.

Have read a number of articles on this topic. Am pleased that the courts are doing what our outdated patent system has not. The human gene is of nature, can not be patented, should not be patented or held for license royalty ransom by businesses of any kind.
