Bio-pirates raid world's genetic bank

Article Abstract:

It is becoming increasingly common for international companies, mainly based in the US, to take out patents on herbs, spices, plants and food items which are widely available on the Indian subcontinent. The patenting of everyday items has become a cause of great concern for ordinary Indians, who feel that their country is being exploited by wealthier countries. There is now very strong competition among botanists and biologists to identify genetic material that could be converted into medicines to treat very widespread conditions.
