Thursday's ruling extended the injunction by 14 days to give the Miami relatives an opportunity to file an appeal...

If one enterprise were to commercialize these developments in some proprietary way, then it's easy to imagine that firm's becoming the world's largest by far. But these are matters of life and death, so it's just as easy to imagine political pressures preventing biotech from spawning the globe's biggest company...
