In this "Lessons" episode, Jorge Contreras, Harvard Law professor and leading voice in genetics law, breaks down the complex battle over who can own the building blocks of human life. He explains how isolated DNA sequences were once treated as patentable inventions, why this granted corporations sweeping control over research, diagnostics, and future medical breakthroughs, and how legal challenges eventually pushed back against the idea of owning human genes. Through clear examples and historical context, he reveals how the fight over BRCA patents reshaped scientific innovation, patient access, and the limits of intellectual property in modern biology.
