"Letting innocent people die from treatment-resistant depression is a perverse priority" is exactly how we ended up with OxyContin. The priority ought to be getting the good result (stopping deaths from treatment-resistant depression) without an expected or unexpected bad result (a horrible problem like OxyContin.) Emotional language like "letting innocent people die" is a huge red flag when it comes to having a good discussion about the issue.
