- The Bela people expressed anger and confusion after finding out that university officials from the United States were making profits through licensing one of their genes to biotechnology companies. The Bela people couldn't understand why it wasn't being used to help them with providing safe water, food and clothing--things that were needed for their everyday survival.
From the page: "When informed that university officials half a world away in California owned a part of their culture, a gene from their rice - and were licensing it to biotechnology corporations - the Bela were puzzled, even angry."
