Exactly what I am talking about along with the immortalized cell lines stolen from minorities. I have no problems with people donating themselves to science or being appropriately compensated with thoroughly informed consent, the advances to science are critical. I just don’t want the biomedical equivalent of OpenAI stealing IP happening to make the 0.1% even richer.
The main concerns I see are if it is actually only individual organs, and things like your rights to your own genetic code/cell lines.
I could easily see some corporation buying someone’s intellectual property rights to their genetic code. I do recall a Supreme Court case where a company patented DNA.
