The ability to buy said product is where consumerism comes in.

If I was an artist and someone said once you make music anyone can copy it and sell it I'd do two things.

Either not make music.

Or I'd make my first CD cost $1,000,000.

Then everyone else can copy it.

                                        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

                                                       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
