  9. Why genetic patents are good for patients [Blowback]

    <span class="toolSet" style="width: 335px;"><span class="byline">In their April 12 Op-Ed article "<a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-darnovsky-breast-genes-patents-20130412,0,2847752.story">Who should own DNA?

  11. Who should own DNA? All of us
