There are lots of successful collaborations happening between US and Chinese scientists. However, like in all scientific disciplines, there some bad apples, and for some, the temptations to improperly share confidential information is too great. Theft of IP is not a good thing, even in oncology.



Theft, IP? Cancer research?!

Oh! I can see the facepalms forming a recursively fractal Mandala...


You seem to miss the point in the article that there’s no theft happening in this case. The scientist in question is the scientist who had been leading the research.


Any attempt to enforce intellectual property around cancer research is moral bankruptcy.

We should not value the "right to rent seek" over basic human decency and access to life-saving knowledge - ever.
