The medical system, well more specifically the drug discovering system, does
need a source of income if we want it to continue to exist. And currently
patents are that source.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Software patents need to die because the logic by which they are viewed to be
legal is flawed.
Patentable software in and of itself is a deception perpetrated by wolves in
sheeps clothing, and it is not legal by US law as it stands and hopefully, the
Honours will actually get to the nuts and bolts of software enough to realize
that they've been looking at the software industry through wool).
For software, copyrights are sufficient to protect any work. Patented
mathematical algorithms are just plain wrong.
Patents (non-software-related) are another story. There are things that can be
patentable, and it is only right to reward inventors through copyright and
patent law.
In cases where people view their patents as more valuable than human life, my
response is "Patents don't kill people, people kill people."
The patents used in such an instance as this are just the instruments with which
people "pull the trigger."
Go after the people that unjustly pull the trigger and make victims of their
fellow man. We're not even talking, "Oops, an accident!" We're
talking first degree murder.
There is no reason to ruin a good thing for everyone else who is in their right
mind.
