60 minutes. Whose body is it anyway?
Description
The race to identify the human genetic make-up has been accompanied by another rush: to patent some of those genes just like the light bulb or the cotton gin. At least a thousand human genes already have been patented and thousands more are pending. Chances are, your genetic structure - your most private property - may well belong to someone else, 60 Minutes correspondent Morley Safer reports.
