I mean lets take a look at the idea of patenting, that is owning, a genetically unique lifeform reasonably for one second. If I shoot you in the arm, and the bullet gets lodged in the joint, and you can no longer use your arm, is your entire body then my property? The method for inserting genes is very similar, suddenly thus by making one addition, they claim to own not only the patent on the method but also all of the results of its application as these engineered lifeforms under corporate ownership contaminate the wild and our food supply with untested consequences.
I mean arguably, yes… however…. is this legal? Because patenting a life from means owning it legally, which is effectively enslavement. They actually enslave people into paying for expensive lawsuits who accidentally find themselves possessing an escaped “slave” that is, a patented genetic life-form whose only difference from a non patented life-form is that it got shot in the arm, like a cow that escapes a farm. It doesn’t matter if its legal or illegal or not, if its wrong to kidnap a human being and force them to work and make money for you, then its not legitimate to patent a lifeform because there is no significant distinction between the two scenarios.
Can you patent a cow by branding it with a hot iron? The cow has free will. If it leaves, its no longer your life-form.
You can only effectively own the bullet. You can only effectively own the branding iron. You can’t own anything it touches just because it touches it.
Ultimately a cow that’s shot in the arm is not of value for very long, however the idea that you own it expired before you were somehow awarded just that undeserved privilege.
You never own what you stole in the first place, and all of the components were stolen from nature, the only ownership is intellectual knowledge of the arrangement, you do not own the actual lie-form, merely the product that you sell, and no extension from the point that the seed leaves your hands, it has escaped your enslavement.
Any influence on the external environment caused by your product is your responsibility to fully disclose all harmful effects on the quality of the land. Any attempts to enslave people into purchasing only your product is effectively equivalent to monopolizing someones land in a hostile and illegally false advertised takeover.
