If we restrict the debate to children healthcare, I believe it is unethical to sell an app that could do great goods to many of them, at no additional cost to maintain or operate. The children are considered a vulnerable population, they will never buy themselves healthcare or even be able to.
However, this is a smart finding so the researchers definitely deserve some sort of reward, either in fame or funding.
- frittig 7y agoEven if we restrict it to children, it doesn't change the basic idea. We can advertise food, education, housing and toys that are meant for children, why is a health app different? I doubt they the company actually wants children to buy their app, rather that parents will buy it for their children.
