Jamie Love reports from Geneva that Canada is working together with the U.S., E.U., and Norway to kill a proposal to begin negotiations on a Medical Research & Development Treaty that enjoys support from a cross-section of the developing world. The negotiations are taking place this week in Geneva at the annual World Health Assembly, which governs the U.N. World Health Organization. The proposed treaty would address issues such as new models for funding medical research, global norms to facilitate access to government funded research, and promoting management of intellectual property rights that factors in public health and access to medicines.

Interesting:
“…and promoting management of intellectual property rights that factors in public health and access to medicines.”
Intellectual “property” in our biology worries me.
