More of a grey area than lobbying to make it illegal for schools to not stock epipens and then jacking the price up 400% and giving yourself a 671% pay raise? Not to mention the CEO is a senators daughter.
Costs should cover R&D but this is outright greed and in an industry where it's literally peoples lives at stake it can't be allowed to continue.

- sp527 10y agoOh I don't disagree at all. But that has very little to do with whether or not it's ethically responsible to propose an untested method for constructing a device that would only be needed in life-threatening situations.
- mason240 10y ago>Not to mention the CEO is a senators daughter. So? Is she just not supposed to work?
- jrock08 10y agoThere's a lot of space between the conflict of interest that arises when you lobby congress for a change that would help the company you are the CEO of while your father is a senator and not working.
- mason240 10y agoSo do you have list of places that she isn't allowed to work in? You are basically saying that she needs to be kept below a glass ceiling because of who her father is.
