I think companies should own the organisms they make to a certain extent. They should only be able to do small changes to the organisms, they should be able to sell there product to whoever they want to to make the organisms better or if they want to study it. People should be able to change the organism to make it better and healthier for the people

A company should only be able to own the organism if it is going to take all the responsibility for all the positive or negative things that comes from it. They cant just avoid all the consequences that they created.

I think DNA patents is not bad if the company owners now how to used i their productions because is not harming humans

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion I think any company can own their own organism/organisms as long as it dose not affect any human being. If that organism is successful I believe that organism can sell to the highest bidder. But if it is not as successful it may not sell to the highest bidder. But the only way the organism can not become successful is if it affects people and gets them sick. But other than that yes I believe it can sell to a highest bidder. If someone changes the organism I think that company or person can patent the organism. I believe that because they put their own twist and put their work into it so I believe they have the right to own the changed organism. They deserve to get the credit for the hard work they have invested into changing the organism.

i think it would be necessary to patent an organism as long as it won't harm us later on.

I think a company can own an organism because they're not doing anything bad they're just owning it plus it is still selling and consumers can still buy it. It is okay to sell it to the highest bidder because they own the organism and still need to make money off of the organism. If a person does change the organism I think they can patent it because they did put in their own work into changing the organism and people will steal work and make it look as their own and then that person would want to patent it and make money off of it and will not give credit to whoever created it.

I think DNA patents are necessary to keep a companies invented GMO food product protected without others robbing their idea. Also as long as the GMO food is beneficial there is nothing wrong with genetically modifying foods.

Companies should be allowed to own an organism they created. Even if the organism is slightly changed it was something that company invested into, and should be allowed to take credit for what they've created.
These companies should be allowed to do what they want with what they've created as long as it's not harmful.

A patent is what gives the company owenership of an organism so that nobody else can use the sequence of the DNA. It is like a copyright of a song but for a GMO food. It can't be stolen due to the patent, it is the protection for the organism.

The company should own the organism because they have produced and need to take full action for any actions that happen. Yes the organism can be sold to the highest bidder because that is the way business works you have to invest money to make money. Even if you sell the patent to another person they have all types of rights to changed anything you want because you payed for it as long as they give a percentage of the profits.

A patent is a license that shows ownership of a company or individual over a certain organism or product. In this case i believe that a company should have a right to own an organism, if it does not have a negative affect on any consumer. I don't think that it should only be sold to the highest bidder, it should be available to any company for equals distribution to us the consumers.  Lastly, if someone changes the organism slightly, they should be available to patent the organism only if it's beneficial.

Companies are given patents by the government which can be viewed as a contract. A patent is when the government give you a select amount of time between one and ten years to research and come up with ideas that you have with your company.

I feel as if a company should be allowed patents for organisms because they should have at least a select amount of time to find all things that are brought upon the organisms if they are the first to find the organism. Someone such as the owner or the CEO should be allowed to sell the organisms to the highest bidder but they need to make sure they have a contract so they do not get punked and receive no money.

If someone changes an organism slightly they should be allowed to receive a patent because changing something slightly can change everything for an organism. They made the idea of changing the organism and could possibly change its name.
