The results of the research on the human genome are registered with an international organization which holds a genetic data bank in this regard. All utilizations and applications of the results of human genome research are subject to a utilization fee, which corresponds to the patent royalty fee. A part of this fee is reserved for the benefit of humanity, and the remaining portion is transferred to the researcher. The research on the human genome cannot be viewed the same as the exploration of resources of the deep sea-bed. The research has in itself a high intellectual value, and should be allowed to proceed freely.
Research is an intellectual activity unique to humanity.
Thus freedom of research, as part of freedom of thought is a fundamental human right. Thus, the research should neither be controlled nor limited, even if the result of the research in question may possibly contain some unfavourable effects or be exploited for a bad or illegal purpose. The research has a supreme value of itself. There is no good research nor bad research. The necessity for control comes at the level of methodology and process of research and experimentation.
