Say No to Gene Patents

Cancer Voices Australia, in the wake of the 15 February 2013 Federal Court's negative decision to uphold the ability to patent human genes, are contributing to a petition to the Australian Parliament. We urge everyone concerned about this situation to download the petition from here. 

We need as many signatures as possible, so copy the sheet and ask your friends, colleagues and community to sign and support the petition.
