Genomics has developed at a time when science has become increasingly connected with the market. The result has been a strong trend toward privatization of genetic resources & genetic knowledge, marked by the patenting of thousands of genetic sequences, the proliferation of databases protected by commercial confidentiality, & the signing of exclusive access contracts concerning populations' genetic & medical data. The granting of excessively broad patents, covering both a gene's uses & the gene itself, is liable to slow the pace of research & to encourage the emergence of monopolies in the domain of health. This trend toward privatization is neither one-way, however, nor entirely settled. There are, within the domain of genomics, models for the production & distribution of common &/or public goods. The paper studies these models & suggests solutions that could allow a better balance among private property, collective property, & public property. 17 References. Adapted from the source document.
