Apparently, the plants can only be patented if you can reproduce the plant asexually. I wonder if a person reproduces asexually then he can patent his (or her) offspring or if the patent is for the general pattern of the person. In either case, does each clone hold the patent and have to share the rights or only the orginal entity or neither and the scientists (or corporation) that performed the procedure owns the patent?

I've wasted a disproportionate, sickening amount of time this summer doing such unproductive things like "sleeping." Gah.
