developing a cure for cancer costs real fucking money, gobs and gobs of it. you think clinical trials and FDA approvals come for free? ramping up a supply chain around it?
ever developed any product? ever?
- datashovel 11y agoI'm not saying it's free to manufacture and distribute a product. So of course money has to be charged for a product on some level. I'm not saying "go bankrupt in order to manufacture and distribute the cure for cancer to the world". But the place where I draw the line is when mega corp decides to hold the cure for cancer hostage until their profit demands are met.
- pinaceae 11y agowhich is a scenario that is not happening, anywhere. wtf are you babbling about?
- datashovel 11y agoAs far as I'm concerned, this whole back and forth is not about actual events happening in the world. This is a moral / ethical argument. My point is that: for anyone, either implicitly or explicitly, to say it's ok to look another human being, with terminal cancer, in the eyes and say "I have a cure for you, but you can't have it unless you help me fulfill the wishes of my stockholders (aka profits)" is evil.
