 Post subject: Patenting your DNA?
PostPosted: Fri, 01 Feb 2008 08:17:36 +0000 
I know this sounds like a really stupid question, but it could be a good PR stunt - can you patent your DNA, as it is unique?

Unfortunately it's not unique. The majority if your DNA is identical to everyone else's. Even the (DNA) fingerprint is not truly unique (if I remember my lectures from Alec Jeffreys correctly).

Your parents didn't create it either. They just mixed theirs together!

One supposes that the only person you might argue created it was God.
