To be sure, those who contribute greatly to medical science should be compensated well…but how much is too much? At what point does the right of a company to profit (and the executives and investors there) trump the right of a human being to live?
All too often, it’s not the individual researchers who make most of the money on these things. If they work for a company, it’s the company and the investors who make the bulk of the money.[/quote]
“…but how much is too much?”
haha, your thievery is laid bare. That is a question you ask regarding lots of things huh? When can you take what someone else has because they have too much of it?
“At what point does the right of a company to profit (and the executives and investors there) trump the right of a human being to live?”
These two things do not have to be in conflict. I am sure many companies would love to sell FDA unapproved or off label prescriptions, but the governmentment has made it illegal to do such. And to bring drugs through the process costs billions of dollars (4 billion last I read). Let us reframe that last question…
“At what point does the general populaces desire for only and restricted to government sactioned medical products trump the right of a human being to live?”
To avoid the previous moral dilemma, you would prefer theft.
