Price Of Essential Pharmaceutical Drug Increases 5,500 Percent Overnight

#51

Quote:I really don't even know what to say to this, so let's try it another way:


Your child is dying. There's a pill that will save them, but it costs $100k. You're willing to give the manufacturer every penny you have, but it's not nearly that much. The manufacturer refuses, and your child dies.


Are the manufacturer's actions ethical? Would you simply nod your head and get on with life, holding no ill will, because the manufacturer chose to put the pursuit of profits above your child's life?


Of course I would hold ill will, that doesn't mean they should be forced to even discount their product. There is no reason one person should have the right to something someone else owns, even if it means life or death. Business is not a social program and medicine is, above all else, a business.
