4. Ownership of genetic material is still a vexed issue. Many human genes have been patented and a battle is currently being fought through the U.S. courts between doctors and a biotech company owning the patents for genes used in breast-cancer research screening. Should people be able to make money off of genes, cells, or tissue from other humans? Yes, no, or it depends? EXPLAIN your answer.

Answer:

depends (CONTINGENCY clause)

Explanation:

example:

Henrietta Lacks

USA is capitalist

companies make money off of using people's genes, cells & tissues

money motivates the companies to do the research that saves lives

but it should be done on CONTINGENCY

meaning

if one makes money from the use of genes then they should pay the patent holder

if they dont make money they shouldn't have to pay the patent holder

sort of like how some lawyers are paid

if a client wins then lawyer is paid

if a client loses then lawyer does not have to paid
