        @BBCBreaking @julianhuppert What a biased summary. How about "in a move that could save many lives by improving access to treatment"?

        @BBCBreaking good, absolutely absurd to patent a human gene, it would open the flood gates for big pharmaceutical companies

        @BBCBreaking .. the right outcome. Genes were not invented, they were found . A nonsense to think the code could be owned by someone.
