It's disheartening that this med is being used to treat infants and they wouldn't even leave those helpless babies alone. Healthcare is a $3.5 trillion dollar per year industry and is powering 20% of U.S economy, but I think the problem goes a lot deeper and further than just the medical field. This is a systematic issue across all industries where profits are increasingly being prioritized above everything else, even when it involves the most basic and essential human values.
Is the rapid increase of population part of the cause? Overpopulation often means the value of each individual will be decreased since anyone is now easily replaceable and becomes irrelevant. There are no signs this trend is going to stop anytime soon. I fear there has to be a massive catastrophic event to happen in order to trigger any societal changes at this level.
