" 5/11 Crichton tackled genetic testing, gene patents, the Bayh-Dole Act, property rights of human tissue, transgenic creations, etc. in this fast paced book. Hopefully his predictions of taking human tissue ownership (right to take tissue from descendants) won't come true! Crichton's underlying points were that legislation needs to catch up with science in the field and the profit motive needs to take a back seat to the scientific needs of the population. (Too much bad language for my taste). "
