[quote=joec]I don’t have a problem with someone who finds a cure for cancer or some other disease if they became a billionaire. So many people are worth so much nowadays and since we need some money to survive, it’d be sad to see the father of the cure for cancer be on the street and broke…
More power to them if they can find the cure and they deserve the money since unfortunately, in society now, you need “some” money at least to live.[/quote]
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.
