Legal sound, morally bankrupt. After Nuremberg who would have thought we would write laws facilitating such genocide.

“I did it for the shareholders” should be as valid an excuse as “I was only following orders”.

Do the math. Multiply that number by 18/3.5. Why 18 – it is 2032 before the patents expire, and the 3.5 is how long these medications have been on the market. I get a number a little over 6 million. That number is familiar, can’t quite place where I last read it.

YMMV
