Should patents on plants, animals and humans, as well as patents on their genes be allowed. Our ability to alter the genetic blueprint of animals and plants is in the process of changing many aspects of science and medicine.

Its rise is linked in many ways to that of the alternative health movement, which sees green tea as having a range of traditional healing properties and abilities to cure diseases. Although these claims have not been proven, there is documentation for belief in them that goes back over a thousand years.
