Abstract
U.S. Law allows the patenting of genes and life forms, including
mammals. But other countries differ and consider moral issues in
reviewing patent applications; the U.S. does not. Since U.S. Patent
Law is currently under revision, should moral and ethical issues
become part of the patent review process?
The UCSD and Donald Shapiro 2010-2011 Biomedical Ethics Seminar Series
is supported by a generous gift from The Institute of Health Law at
the California Western School of Law (CWSL), which co-sponsors with
UCSD a Masters Degree in Health Law. It meets once monthly for
faculty, staff, and students to discuss selected ethics topics.
