Medicine, Big Pharma, Big Science Can We Trust It In Its Current Corporate Driven For Profit Form?

category national | anti-capitalism | opinion/analysis author Monday May 16, 2011 06:41author by ws Report this post to the editors

We all rely on large companies to safeguard our health and we allow them to control and direct much of our science. Is this trust really justified?

Recent revelations on this site show us that large pharmaceutical companies and their products are not as trustworthy as we would like. Can we really put our faith in the current model of modern medicine driven by Large greedy corporations ? Can we leave science especially medical science safely in the hands of trans national for profit corporations or is there urgent need to consider alternative approaches such as an open source model or state based science? I am posting this stub article to hopefully stimulate some discussion on this and related matters...
