Myriad does not claim all DNA. They claim a particular DN-acid in isolation.
It does not occur in your body, or in your children's body in isolation. In
isolation, it is not naturally occurring.

No one is every going to charge your children a royalty for their naturally
occurring DNA.....

They might be charged a royalty if they have an isolated gene, made practical by
the ability to recoup investments provided by patents, inserted into their genes
in order to cure them of some disease (such as MS, or ALS, or dementia, or
cancer, or Parkinson) or for some other purpose they find useful.

Ties right into the Monsanto theory that, if genes from their
GM corn are found in a non-customer's corn, that corn violates
their patents.

When mother+father produce a child with a patented gene, can
they be sued for patent violation?? What rot.

I'm sorry to hear of your diagnosis. Change
your lifestyle. Eat differently. Reduce your
stress. Etc.

Sorry you failed to get a license on certain select portions of the DNA you are
using.

Thus you will have to discontinue using those snippets.

If that causes loss of life then you should have been more careful to get the
proper license before you place those snippets to use.
