Never quite understood that one. I'm pretty certain there is prior art ranging back a few thousand years. Also, it sure does put having children in a funny perspective.

EDIT:
These are refined gene sequences in the lab, not portions of human bodies, which, as I said, are patentable in the United States.
As you cannot guarantee that a sequence does not already exist, or that it not will appear by spontaneous mutation, it's a slippery slope anyway.
