In consideration of the Supreme Court ruling against Myriad, one could possibly anticipate the argument of 'life as sacred' from some religious communities. While this article provides some nuance regarding these communities (for example, suggesting they are not just bible-thumpers blocking progress), it also communicates the need for understanding the intersection between religion and science and the Supreme Court's ruling; is it possible that particular religious ideals and attitudes had a hand in the decisions of the justices? Especially when one considers that a 'naturally-occurring' entity cannot be patented according to the eligibility requirements, how pervasive are these attitudes already?
