Yes but from a moral standpoint that's exclusively for the owner of the capital to decide *edit* -Without government intervention that attempts to change incentives (tax credits, regulation, tax hikes, patents only in some sectors etc.) for investment. It is simply too subjective, it is downright economic planning and history dictates this fails *edit*

Well, there will still be casinos for these guys
But i look at it this way, apparantly the market is not ready for that third generation sequencing stuff, either technology is not advanced enough or who knows, i mean why is it so damn expensive, is there really an actual demand?

Why are people willing to take these longshots? It seems as if precious capital is being wasted, because of patents, on dreams of multi-million monopolies, not in a quest to fulfill actual demands on the market.
