"Can a gene be patented?"
'Can' it be? Probably.
'Should' it be? The answer depends on who you ask.
Does it matter? Not to me. As I say up-thread: not goin' the slave route...don't care if God in Heaven Above points His Fiery Finger of Fate at me and says, 'PAY'.
I say, I own 'me' no matter what patented materials are inside me.
I say, self-possession trumps patent law (and LAW in general) every time.

"they have the lawyers/money to make your life shitty"
Sure...so what?
Living is not an exercise in 'fair' (probably the only thing tw and me might agree on).
When the lion is on your ass: defend yourself.

"I sold my inner child to a sweatshop."

I killed and ate mine (raw)
He was yummy.
