I think this bill is more about how we decide what can be patented, i.e, do we even look at whether the subject matter is new, useful, and non-obvious, or do we just say it's in a category that we won't allow people to patent their creation, like short stories, business innovations, and screenplays. As I read the bill, under the Darwin tortoise hypo, he still wouldn't be able to patent b/c the tortoise wouldn't be novel, as it existed in the form presented in nature before. But if Darwin genetically engineered a tortoise that can fly, he possibly could patent the innovation.
