Esculapius (Medicine) between Mercury (Merchants) and the Graces (Medicine, Hygiene and Panacea)
Esculapius dealt with Patients - Merchants make deals with Clients

  lit+ " LIFE IS A COMEDY
         FOR THOSE THAT THINK and
         A TRAGEDY
         FOR THOSE WHO FEEL "
  a favorite saying of Horace WALPOLE [#]
  biol> HIGHER LIFE IS NOT
        JUST REPLICATION
  IT IS PROCREATION
  note CELL CLONING vs SEXUAL DIVISION
        WHICH CREATES HAPLOID GAMETES or
  CELLS WITH HALF OF THE DIPLOID DNA COMPLEMENT
  THUS WHEN CONJUGATED WITH
  ANOTHER HAPLOID GAMETE WILL REGENERATE A
  DIPLOID STATE REPRESENTING A NEW DNA ADMIXTURE

  THUS GENETIC EMBRYONIC GENOMES   sug> GENESIS
  ARE UNIQUE UNLESS EVEN IF
  THE PARENTS ARE CLOSELY RELATED BECAUSE
  NO TWO HAPLOID GAMETES PACK EXACTLY THE SAME
  HALF OF THE PARENTAL DNA CONSTITUTION

  hx> in the USA
      LIFE HAS NOW BECOME PROPERTY
  in 1972 Anada CHAKRABARTY [#] SOUGHT TO PATENT A
  BACTERIA CAPABLE OF DEGRADING OIL
  in 1980 CHAKRABARTY WON A USA PATENT
     ON BEHALF OF GENERAL ELECTRIC CORPORATION
  in "Toward a More Natural Science" 1985 WHERE
  Leon KASS [#] ARGUES THAT
  THE USA SUPREME COURT ERRED
  BECAUSE CHAKRABARTY [#] DID NOT CREATE
  THE NEW BACTERIA BUT
  "PLAYED THE MATCHMAKER FOR A SHOTGUN WEDDING ...
  WHILE THE LIVING ORGANISMS DID THE WORK "
  PATENT LAW DOES NOT GRANT PROTECTION FOR
  THOSE WHO "FIND" THINGS BUT
  TO THOSE WHO "CREATE" SOMETHING
  MANY RABBIS AND CHRISTIAN CLERGY
  ARE AGAINST THIS RULE OF THE SUPREME COURT
  IN REGARDS TO "GENETIC ENGINEERING"
  THEY MAINTAIN THAT LIFE BELONGS TO GOD
  OTHERS ARGUE THAT PATENTS ARE TO
  PROVIDE ENCOURAGEMENT FOR PEOPLE TO
  ADVANCE HUMAN INVENTIVENESS AND
  CONTRIBUTIONS TO SOCIETY
  other points are made in "Altered Fates" by
  Jeff LYON and Peter GORNER [#] Norton, 1996
  lit+  a maxim> from ARISTOTLE [#]
        " ALL IS ONE and
          ONE IS ALL "  from Aristotle
  offers a sober reminder and even perhaps
  a definition of GOD
  LUCRETIUS [#] [3] in " Life and Death "  offers
  " NO SINGLE THING ABIDES
    BUT ALL THINGS FLOW
    FRAGMENT TO FRAGMENT CLINGS
    THE THINGS THUS GROW
    UNTIL WE NAME THEM
    BY DEGREES THEY MELT AND
    ARE NO MORE THE THINGS WE KNOW
    GLOBED FROM THE ATOMS
    I SEE THE SUNS ...
    EVEN THEIR SYSTEMS AND THEIR SUNS
    SHALL GO BACK SLOWLY
    TO THE ETERNAL DRIFT
    THOU TOO  O EARTH
    THINE EMPIRES LANDS AND SEAS ...
    THOU ART GOING  HOUR BY HOUR ...
    NOTHING ABIDES ... "
  the above is concordant with a
  maxim> by T DOBZANSKY [#]
  " NOTHING IN BIOLOGY MAKES SENSE
    EXCEPT IN THE LIGHT OF EVOLUTION "
  biol> LIVING IMPLIES INDIVIDUALITY it leads to
        UNIQUE AND INDIVISIBLE in contrast to
  SEPARATED or INDIVIDUAL CELLS THAT REMAIN ALIVE and
  DO NOT CONSITITUE AN ORGANISM WHERE
  CELLS NEED EACH OTHER WITHOUT WHICH
  CELLS BECOME UNDIFFERENTIATED
