"Could you patent the sun?" Part 1 of the ethical problems with patenting discoveries
High Society's outlook on etical problems with ethical problems with patenting medical discoveries. In part one of this series, David Malmo-Levine examines the ethical problems of patenting certain medical discoveries and natural medicines. From the discovery of ether as an anesthetic and carbolic acid as an antiseptic to the discovery of Hoxsey's botanical cure for cancer and the activists who revoked the neem patent, we find that history punishes the opportunists who attempt medical monopolies. Fair Use clips from "Sicko", "Hoxsey", "The Day The Universe Changed", "Drug Deals", "Brain Candy" and "The Corporation".
