Did you hear that the US Supreme Court ruled against being able to patent genes?

All I can say is woohoo!! My friend just posted this on facebook, and I was not aware the Supreme Court would be ruling on this, but I have for years been disgusted a company can have an exclusive on a gene. The “breast cancer genes” BRCA have been the most well known regarding this issue. The company that tests for it, they owned the patent, charged extremely high prices. No competition meant they could basically charge what they wanted to the desperate women who feared dying like their relatives had.

What do you think about the ruling? Do you agree with it? Can you see any down side?
