One-Fifth of Human Genes Have Been Patented, Study Reveals

From a National Geographic article, here... Man, this is sorta like... um.. Bullshit.
But I kinda don't think, long term, that the various companies and private institutions that hold these patents will actually be able to make use of or enforce this sort of thing. The World Bank/IMF consortium may be able to force growers of now-patented cocoa plants to stop growing (or pay licensing fees, ala biopiracy), but I can't even believe that the people in the rest of the world will stand for that much longer, let alone, someday being forced by the "world police" to pay royalties/licensing on parts of the *human* genome. Am I being idealistic/naive? Probably...
