Praise for Patenting Life

“Jorge Goldstein, one of the world's foremost biotech lawyers, takes us on a journey beginning with the creation of patent law in fifteenth-century Venice through the last fifty years of bioengineering. It's a tale filled with both fascinating legal cases as well as thorny ethical questions.”

- Walter Isaacson
