that "one great moment" were the patent files on individuals DNA in a vast record room.
GE was the first corporation to patent life forms. which at the time were new varients of e coli that they hoped would help cows digest stuff like saw dust. IT didn;t work, the cows exploded instead BUT the door was open to patent any and all life from DNA all the way up to entire organisms and animals - the one exception the court made was "A fully born human being"!
