Yes I do. A creation is a creation. Gets more more complicated since many patents go to companies rather than individuals though. So you'd have to change it so companies couldn't own rights to creations, only the members of the team who invented it, and patent could only last their lifetimes.
Drug research is a tough issue obviously. That's something that probably shouldn't have went private, and should have been done publicly by government agencies since it's something that should be tied to public health and not to profit in the private sector. But C'est la Vie.
