Unlike Newton however, the “genetic revolution” can be profited on. And no one can say that Newton existed in the Information Economy such as we do. For someone to profit from “gravity” there would have had to be a practical application right away. With understanding our genetic blueprints we open up a gigantic market. Nowadays its not uncommon even to just trade in information without actually applying it. This at least gives me the shivers. The kind of system that had emerged during the last 15-20 years is among the most venomous that this planet has ever seen. It promotes ego-centric behavior and limits the number of people that can benefit from a given technology.
Ethic aspects are outdated as far as I am concerned. Fair use is much more current. I take the road of Technocracy of course. Information WANTS to be free. That is the only chance we have to guarantee success in the long run. So, why not begin with the genome and gene databases. Lets not fail in the same way as we have with digital media such as computer software.
