If fundies value life, do they oppose the "patenting of life" by corpses?

One of the big issues in science is the patenting of pieces of DNA,
proteins etc - for their medical value. As more and more patents
are issued, it becomes harder to do science, since you either
can't access proprietary data, or you are forced to pay for using
data.

The whole thing is becoming pay-per-view science.

Back about six years ago, Clinton and Blair agreed not to patent
DNA, so that the results of the human genome project (the code
of life) would not be owned by anyone. But it was only a gentleman's
agreement, without the force of law.

In the intervening time, they have been patenting the crap out of
cancer cell lines, and any kind of protein or DNA that they can
vaguely show a medical use for.

So, fundies oppose the "destruction of life", where are they when
life becomes the private property of a corporation - literally a slave
to be bought and sold.

Anyone know if the fundies take any action?

If not, they are fucking hypocrites - no surpise - and we have a
talking point against them.

If they do oppose it, we ought to play it up and see how their
corporate funders react.

P.S. This is a Mrs. Arendt idea! Props to the wife.
