"NEARLY 20% of the 23,688 known human genes are patented in the United States. Private companies hold 63% of those patents."

Now, that's scary! Are they going to sue everyone who reproduces independently in the future?

Now don't be silly. Of course they won't sue. There will just be retroactive licensing fees liened against everyone's social security or other government funding. Either that or you can have a Lipitor ad tattoo'd on you or your child.
