The Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, or MERS, is a virus that has already killed more than three dozen people, and threatens to become a global concern.
The need for a vaccine against the virus is becoming increasingly vital, but a dispute over patents appears to be slowing everything down.
So, should any one entity own the sole right to create a vaccine? Or should science act for the whole of humanity? To discuss this, Inside Story, with presenter David Foster, is joined by guests: Ab Osterhaus, the head of the department of virology at Erasmus University; Peter Saunders, professor at the Institute of Science in Society; and Edward Hammond, from the Third World Network, who is also a patent specialist.
