The Villain of CRISPR
I hate the fact that breakthroughs like this are patentable.People need to follow Alexander Flemings lead:  The pharmacist Sir Alexander Fleming is revered not just
  because of his discovery of penicillin – the antibiotic
  that has saved millions of lives – but also due to his 
  efforts to ensure that it was freely available to as much
  of the world’s population as possible. Fleming could have
  become a hugely wealthy man if he had decided to control 
  and license the substance, but he understood that 
  penicillin’s potential to overcome diseases such as 
  syphilis, gangrene and tuberculosis meant it had to be 
  released into the world to serve the greater good. On the
  eve of World War II, he transferred the patents to the US
  and UK governments, which were able to mass-produce 
  penicillin in time to treat many of the wounded in that 
  war. It has saved many millions of lives since.
