I agree with you, in particular because of logic similar to that in JosephBrown's post [1]:
> The justices seemed to argue that removing the introns was the step that makes cDNA patentable, but the introns are already removed from an mRNA molecule
If we take this decision at face value, then scientists simply have to decrease reliance on cDNA intermediates. But I worry that we will have to deal with fallout from analogies to the cDNA logic for decades to come.
