which basically puts consumers at mercy of Big Pharma. No standards, no recourse if a drug kills someone (because of manufacturing defects), and no accountability, because everybody will be cutting corners to maximize profits. Corporations are like Trump...they are the very definition of sociopathic.

                              that is a complete falsity - MizzouAstro MU - 4/23 10:54:19

                                        Who is checking to see that your testing is accurate? Nm - SparkyStalcup MU - 4/23 12:21:48
                                        Yep. Pharma would tout your approval to sell the drugs - MizzouAstro MU - 4/23 10:56:18
                              It's like it's impossible to imagine a private drug testing - MizzouAstro MU - 4/23 10:51:08
                         and in the market. - kmawv8 MU - 4/23 10:45:24
                              Sucks if you're one of the saps to first take it/be - MrBlueSky MU - 4/23 10:45:51
                                   that's why you take your own personal responsibility and - MizzouAstro MU - 4/23 10:47:47
                                        I certainly agree with your last sentence - MrBlueSky MU - 4/23 10:49:09
                                             Of course. Who said they shouldn't take their doctor's - MizzouAstro MU - 4/23 10:49:41
                                                  No one...but if my doctor prescribes some new drug - MrBlueSky MU - 4/23 10:51:12
                                                       i ask a pharmacist, not the doctor (nm) - pickle MU - 4/23 11:14:18
                                                            Okay Larry (nm) - MrBlueSky MU - 4/23 11:31:19
                                                                 the pharmacist is more knowledgable (nm) - pickle MU - 4/23 11:38:44
                                                            doctor/pharmacist, doctor/pharmacist....hmmmm - hefeweizen MU - 4/23 11:20:59
                                                       Then you must have the ultimate trust in your doctor - kmawv8 MU - 4/23 10:53:31
                                                            and people get 2nd opinions all the time for things like - MizzouAstro MU - 4/23 10:54:53
                                                       if you don't trust your doctor than find a new doctor(nm) - MizzouAstro MU - 4/23 10:52:45
          As proposed, they wouldn't take effect - Mormad MU - 4/23 10:31:29
     yes, it makes sense - pickle MU - 4/23 10:29:14
          I assume you are still against patents in general nm - SparkyStalcup MU - 4/23 10:30:04
               yes, and all IP protections and monopolies - pickle MU - 4/23 10:31:08
                    No shock you support stealing. - RHAYWORTH MU - 4/23 10:40:07
                         it’s not theft. it is impossible to own information - pickle MU - 4/23 10:40:53
                              Bullshyte. Everything at its core, is information. - RHAYWORTH MU - 4/23 11:09:43

                              I'm not worried about the consumer here. - Gavin Citrus MU - 4/23 10:45:09
                                   obviously not (nm) - ashtray UF - 4/23 11:50:03
                                   You should be worried about the consumer. Consumption - MizzouAstro MU - 4/23 10:48:33
                                        At least we agree on something - Gavin Citrus MU - 4/23 10:50:45
                                   Why are you not worried about the consumer? - kmawv8 MU - 4/23 10:48:22
                                        And then they won't buy the product. Demand will go down. - Gavin Citrus MU - 4/23 10:53:19
                                             If profit margins are extremely high from patent protection - kmawv8 MU - 4/23 10:57:35
                                             there is no such thing as price gouging, either - pickle MU - 4/23 10:55:45

                              Maybe, or maybe they just exploited cheaper labor - Mormad MU - 4/23 10:44:53
                                   cheap labor isn’t slavery - El-ahrairah BAMA - 4/23 10:51:32
                                   exploited? - pickle MU - 4/23 10:46:24
                         No they don't, they discourage it - MizzouAstro MU - 4/23 10:38:45
                              Patents do not limit improvements - meatiger MU - 4/23 12:09:31

                         So you think people will still innovate - Gavin Citrus MU - 4/23 10:38:28
                              yes, you should - MizzouAstro MU - 4/23 10:40:06
                              absolutely there will still be innovation - pickle MU - 4/23 10:40:03
                                   This is an amazing take - Gavin Citrus MU - 4/23 10:41:46
