Open Sourced Biology? What is the future of our information.
In a world that is in constant flux, the internet age has inspired a new wave of copyright infringement, trademark/ patent disputes and debate over ownership of information. I see so many parallels to the competitive market of biotechnology, where history has shown us that regulations are always too late to stem the growth of new ideas. But in today's political climate, I wonder about the consequences of over-extending our ownership over information, both digital and biological.
