Ethics and the Pharmaceutical Industry (ISBN 0521854962)

Book Description:
Michael A. Santoro, Professor of business ethics, and Thomas M. Gorrie, an industry executive, have invited representatives of government and NGOs, top industry executives, doctors, and scholars to share their views on the most vital and controversial moral issues facing the pharmaceutical industry today. Where do the lines begin and end between the pharmaceutical industry's responsibilitity to society and to its own profit/loss considerations? The authors consider this question across a range of activities, including research and clinical trials, drug pricing, patent protection, and advertising and marketing to doctors and patients.
