> The modern day pharmaceutical industry is perhaps the one exception to the rule that patents are bad to humanity. Why is that? Well, because it's remained the most sacred, shielded, unquestioned, and especially for the longest time. In part because of the huge and quite possibly unfounded shielding it has. Sometimes that actually works.
I've been holding my tongue, but seeing as Sampo has added an [OT] tag: Is it not strange that Medicine relies on patent medicines, whilst Surgery relies on published 'open source' procedures . . . ?
