Rina Hikimian and David Korn from the Association of American Medical Colleges examined and researched the current conditions and impressions of the ownership of tissues and the property rights that are involved. The document reviews several court cases. In every court decision, the ruling was not in favor of the individual but in favor of the patent or institute of research. Summarizing each decision, science is left untouched. The court favors scientific research that ultimately will benefit more than one person. This impression disregards any argument of ethics and profit. I think these topics should be considered largely instead of casting them aside.
