OpenSource -Bio +Patenting

"Aren’t you stealing from the patentholders of the medication, when you makeit yourself?

No. You are violating their copyright,yes; and at best you might be decreasingtheir profits if you were making ityourself instead of buying it from them.However anyone who is sufficientlydesperate that they build an ApothecaryMicroLab, and synthesize their own drugsis clearly in a situation where they wouldnot be able to afford to buy themedication in the first place.
