I toally agree with above statements. We see this kind of greedy atempts all the time and in sectors of all kinds, trying with all their might and claws not to lose their enormously fat pay cow. Who are they trying to convince? It's all about the money, and nothing will convince me it isn't. And using propaganda of fear is of course the best way to play it, because people will be afraid of ANYTHING as long as a scientist or doctor or some major face/company backs it up.
No, I hope this is not only a rumor and that google realy IS considering to create a searchable online database of all the genes on the planet. That would benefit progress in biological research the most. We'd probably have solutions for all kinds of deceases by now. Go Google, go Google!
