I agree in essence, the judges are making decisions based on their opinion of fair compensation. They feel the patent developer deserves the wealth not the person who happens to be born with X.
Bu there is no consistent way to reconcile this with idea of property since "extreme enrichment of persons born with X" is an inevitable consequence.
I don't think this will be allowed to deteriorate into slavery but there was a claim that body parts can't be owned due to slavery concerns.
This is clearly not the case because under the current law 1) organizations can own modified body parts originating from a person who can't own them and 2) verdicts on the matter are inconsistent in every way except one: sending wealth to the "right" parties in that particular judges opinion.
