Why do you hate America, baxturd?

Is it because you really hate yourself for your erectile dysfunction?

But not in the case of the human genome project, eh Oddsod?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Genome_Project

Celera initially announced that it would seek patent protection on "only
200�300" genes, but later amended this to seeking "intellectual property
protection" on "fully-characterized important structures" amounting to
100�300 targets. The firm eventually filed preliminary ("place-holder")
patent applications on 6,500 whole or partial genes. Celera also
promised to publish their findings in accordance with the terms of the
1996 "Bermuda Statement," by releasing new data annually (the HGP
released its new data daily), although, unlike the publicly funded
project, they would not permit free redistribution or scientific use of
the data. The publicly funded competitor UC Santa Cruz was compelled to
publish the first draft of the human genome before Celera for this
reason. On July 7, 2000, the UCSC Genome Bioinformatics Group released a
first working draft on the web. The scientific community downloaded
one-half trillion bytes of information from the UCSC genome server in
the first 24 hours of free and unrestricted access to the first ever
assembled blueprint of our human species. This was a dramatic triumph
for those who champion free access to information, and it occurred just
days before Celera's publishing [8].

Without Celera Genomics the govt. research would have languished.

Because competition is GOOD, you capitalism -hating crank.
