Mr. Przemek Kordasiewicz,
I agree wholeheartedly with your recommendation of a ban on all patents on all life saving medical discoveries. Again, I would take it a step further. I think that the virtues of a purely capitalist system seem to have fallen apart at this point. In this literal life-and-death issue, ethics take priority over everything else. Just as Congress stepped forward to place a ban on the patenting of surgical procedures, they need to step forward and place a similar ban on these new medical patents (drugs, procedures and human genome work) which are having the identical effect. Additionally, Congress need to heavily legislate in favor of patients worldwide to keep drug patents limited, short, and drug prices at an affordable level. Something in the system is wrong when drug companies are the most profitable of all publicly traded companies and huge populations across the world are living in pain and dying because they are unable to afford the sky-high drug prices, inflated by the patent holders’ monopoly. The government needs to look into the situation independently and take a stand for the well-being of the taxpayers and citizens they suppose to be representing. Thank you, Benjamin (Mako) Hill. (Intellectual Property in Cyberspace 2000, http://yukidoke.org) As regards capitalist policies for drug patents, the author: (A)supports them; (B)criticizes them; (C)defines them; (D)advertises them; (E)modifies them. |

Where We Go from Here
By Thomas Claburn Intellectual property doesn’t exist. Still, the business community profits handsomely by pretending otherwise, with a little help from the law. For companies that watched their profits wither in a market torched by terrorism, the illusion is all the more compelling – intellectual property increasingly appears as an oasis of future liquidity on corporate balance sheets. Intangible though it may be, intellectual property is the foundation of modern industry. “If you take a look at intellectual property as a whole – not just patents, but the concept – if we stripped out these sets of rights, what does it do to the world?” asks Kevin Rivette, founder and CEO of Aurigin Systems. He says that removing intellectual property rights would collapse the movie, music, software, publishing, pharmaceutical, biotech, and aerospace industries, to name just a few. He also contends that the patent system – much maligned for granting frivolous patents to technologies like Amazon.com’s 1-Click – will continue to spur innovation as it has for hundreds of years. And thanks to globalism and the World Trade Organization (WTO), intellectual property should see greater protection from the international community. The foreshadowing of that future became evident in 1993, when the United States Trademark Association voted to change its name to the International Trademark Association. Nations with a long history of disrespect for intellectual property rights, like India and China, are finally starting to recognize the benefits of complying with WTO intellectual property regulations as they look to protect homegrown innovations on the world market. (http://www.smartbusinessmag.com/article, Dec. 1, 2001) According to the author, intellectual property is a(n): (A)hazard; (B)chimera; (C)adventure; (D)possibility; (E)nightmare. |

It’s long been part of folk wisdom that birth order
strongly affects personality, intelligence and achievement. However, most of the research claiming that firstborns are radically different from other children has been discredited, and it now seems that any effects of birth order on intelligence or personality will likely be washed out by all the other influences in a person’s life. In fact, the belief in the permanent impact of birth order, according to Toni Falbo, comes from the psychological theory that your personality is fixed by the time you’re six. That assumption simply is incorrect. According to the text, (A) birth control becomes part of folk wisdom. (B) the order of birth determines a person’s life. (C) wise people say that birth order controls personality . (D) the order of birth is a sign of wisdom nowadays. (E) birth order has nothing to do with intelligence and personality. |

Canadian researchers may have discovered why
women are ten times more likely to develop eating disorders than men, and twice as likely to suffer from depression. It seems that women produce the brain chemical serotonin which is linked to humor and appetite more slowly than men. Neurologist Dr. Miko Diksic of the McGill University in Montreal believes this slow production of serotonin is more than enough to account for higher incidence of depression in women. De acordo com o texto, (A) as mulheres são tão propensas aos distúrbios alimentares quanto os homens. (B) uma substância produzida pelo cérebro é responsável pelo fato de os homens se mostrarem mais propensos à depressão que as mulheres. (C) a maior incidência de depressão entre as mulheres está relacionada com sua propensão ao mau humor. (D) os homens são duas vezes mais propensos aos distúrbios alimentares que as mulheres. (E) a produção mais lenta, pelo cérebro feminino, de uma certa substância química, responde pela maior incidência de depressão entre as mulheres. |
