Who Owns You?: Science, Innovation, and the Gene Patent Wars (Blackwell Public Philosophy Series) - Softcover
The 2nd Edition of Who Owns You, David Koepsell s widely acclaimed exploration of the philosophical and legal problems of patenting human genes, is updated to reflect the most recent changes to the cultural and legal climate relating to the practice of gene patenting. * Lays bare the theoretical assumptions that underpin the injustice of patents on unmodified genes * Makes a unique argument for a commons-by-necessity, explaining how parts of the universe are simply not susceptible to monopoly claims * Represents the only work that attempts to first define the nature of the genetic objects involved before any ethical conclusions are reached * Provides the most comprehensive accounting of the various lawsuits, legislative changes, and the public debate surrounding AMP v. Myriad, the most significant case regarding gene patents

About the Author:
Praise for the First Edition:
"A lucid and compelling deconstruction of current practice in the patenting of human genes, exposing inherent contradictions in the process and offering practical ways to resolve them."
John Sulston, the University of Manchester, Nobel Prize Laureate
"Who owns you is lucidly written and reads as a 101 gene patenting. It is a book suitable for all who wish to understand gene patenting, and obtain a fresh perspective on associated ethical and legal matters."
Ethical Perspectives
"We live in a century when quandaries that seemed more appropriate for science fiction will become real... David Koepsell here raises a set of fascinating questions that all of us, and policy makers in particular, should ponder as science is slowly redefining what it means to human."
Lawrence Krauss, Arizona State University
"Koepsell's timely book is highly recommended for all reading levels."
