@MaviMavi Being able to patent things on which people depend for staying alive without being limited in how much you can charge for it is a recipe for disaster indeed. I think some European countries are starting to realise this and look for the best way to move forward and keep medicine affordable without impeding innovation. It's a complex matter though, and while none of the possible solutions are even remotely similar to one another, all are quite radical. So this'll probably take some decades to figure out and do well. And then of course America will do things entirely differently because we've chosen the "communist" solution :P
