A guy is walking down the street, spits on the ground, keeps walking.
A scientist walks up, siphons the spit into a small container, takes it to his lab, and produces a clone of the guy.
The scientist claims to own the genetic data, and the cloned person of the guy. Furthermore the scientist posts the genetic codes into a public domain for other scientists to use and manipulate for research. The guy’s genetics will be tampered with and manipulated how they see fit.
What say you? Who owns what and why?
