Discovering the cause of the migraine,
Will hopefully end a lot of pain,
But to patent the gene,
Seems a little obscene,
Since it already exists in the brain.

I wonder if they can sue me for using their gene without their consent?

I think it's worse that it already exists in my brain, not better. :(
