While talking to a biologist friend, he came up with an interesting suggestion - a persons gene sequence should be (automatically assumed to be) copyrighted by them.
While it might sound silly, there are certainly upsides to the idea - it would allow you to determine who was allowed to look at it, and you would have a solid legal basis for taking access against companies which used it without your authorisation (like say an insurance company). I think he a point - the laws of copyright do seem relevant, rather some new form of law which would be more subject to being "interpretated" in a way which gives you no protection.
