Patents on Vaccines and Pharmaceuticals.
|

I just wondered what people think about the patents and "intellectual property rights" on Vaccines, Pharmaceuticals and genome sequences.
Should drug companies and universities be protected of their intellectual properties on things like pharmaceuticals and genome sequences?...Click Here | By plutonium11

The cult of the self
|
|
We as consumers are programmed to focus on ourselves, so what if the neighbour has waffle iron? we have to have one of our own! everybody these days seem very focused on being an individual and on furthering themselves even at the expense of others.
