lpv:translated text	". The development of means of production based on the new technologies has reached a high state of development that does not sit well with the private interests of those who own the means of production. Capitalism has applied the concepts of property and commercialisation to life and to natural heritage. We roundly condemn the patenting and commercialisation of life, of the human being and of all natural heritage. The issue of property rights has created confusion as to what is a discovery and what is an invention. Scientific discoveries must be endorsed by research and considered to be a public asset. Life exists and its laws are not invented. They are discovered. The problem is that the broad majority of research currently taking place is not public. It is carried out by huge multinationals that wish to appropriate everything for themselves and make this appropriation profitable, calling into question discoveries and developments that belong to humanity and to every individual. In this context, the sale, even when voluntary, of human cells and tissue (such as blood, for example) must be totally banned. Research in the life sciences and in biotechnology must be essentially public and everyone must benefit from this research and not only those who can pay."@en1
