open in viewerLife sciences have expanded rapidly in recent years. Genetic testing particularly shows promise as a medical research tool, using databases containing thousands of digitized human genes as both products and extensions of the people they come from.

Myriad case to discuss the ethical quandaries in determining ownership in the life sciences.
