There's not so much you can trust anymore out there when it comes to drugs.
Give me one industial sector where greed - nature of man - is not a problem.
The motivation of your friends may be noble, but that's probably because they don't work in the functions which directly relate to these activities. Just open your eyes (and the news).
I did not want to argue with you that there is no dirty business in pharmaceuticals or chemistry. All I am saying is that dirty tricks and evil strategies are found throughout the industry, and not only in the medical sector. It is just in the medical sector that one sees the most dramatic consequences.
Go to car development, pre-emptive war, OS software, taxi drivers, banks, and I am sure you will find some good examples of low humans can fall.
In the car industry, if you make a crappy car, people will notice it and will stop trusting your brand. In pharmaceuticals, you will never see that. I even wonder how companies like that are allowed to keep operating when they are found blatantly lying about serious health consequences. They should be put out of business.
Ok, I can accept this argument. Basically, there is an incentive to trick the system. Unfortunatly, I am not a doctor, and as such I do not have the experience to judge the effectiveness of various medical treatments and give an example how well or bad the pharmaceutical industry is really treating us.
What is the the real gain of our health risk insurance systems? I know enough people who are dependent on daily medication of strong systemic substances, and they can live a life without too much suffering while not worrying that this flow of medicine might stop because their bank account is empty. In some way, society has to step in when individuals - even in large amount - fail to live within the system.
Having said that, how would it be possible to improve this status quo?
