Review
"This book is a useful exposition of the difficulties that patents on human genes give rise to. Its focus on philosophical considerations adds depth to the debate, and it takes a novel perspective . . . A book that proposes that the model should be abolished should promote useful debate in the field." (The Journal of Biosocial Science, 2011)
