I could not disagree more.
Few mistakes? Few? Did you see the legal actions being taken against dozens of corps?
Baxter/Bayer shipping a hemophilia shot that it can't deny knowing is tainted to europe? Oops.
The same company accidentially shipping 71 kilograms of attenuated virus material that happened to be contaminated with live bird flu? Do you think it is possible to make such a mistake in a level 4 bio seucre environment? If it is, do you think we should re-write those rules? I assume that it is more plausible that they did it on purpose, but the implications would be huge. Mostly eugenics and genocide.
I am not drawn to the negative, we could talk about things that are right in the world if you want, we just haven't had any of those conversations yet. And I would say that it is you, not I with the unrealistic world view. What overall good is coming from calling children hyperactive and drugging them? I was a drug addict for years, but where did I get my first drug experience? In school, against my will. Show me the positive of such a program, if there is one, and then demonstrate it being larger than the negative side of such behavior.
An overall trend for good. Cite something, anything. All I can do is shake my head.
And you are overgeneralizing. I am not saying that we should not have medical science, I am not a Luddite. I am saying that if a co-operation of buisinessmen are found to be in breach of the law, or of basic human ethics, they should be held accountable. If a pharma corp can not break the law, then they are free to continue saving lives. So no, you are incorrect in stating that w/o these same companies there would be a higher mortality rate. If a company breaks the law, should it not be held accountable? Or are these, like the banking structures, "too big to fail"?
Nothing happened to me to make me a cynic, I woke up in a house that is burning, and no one else seems to be able to cope with the undeniable reality. We could talk about positives, but I might have to mention god...
