A doctor has applied for a patent on new technology involving use of advanced computers to create a new type of organism. One of the goals of his research is to genetically improve these organisms for use in human organ growth and transplant. The doctor says that if he is not granted a patent, he intends to continue his work either in the United States or overseas. My question is should this activity be a violation of the law, a deviant act or none of the above? Why do you think that? Should developers of new technology be required to have their innovations screened before they are developed? I need opinions please... Thanks

The government has the right to know if the new technology is legal. Thus, the doctor must register his discovery so that it will be examined and can only be registered if not against the health of people.

computers won't have the ability to create organic and organic organisms so i don't see the way it might desire to harm something. If he's in simple terms designing a drug, he's subject to the comparable rules and FDA regulations as everybody else.
