Ted, Duncan This reminds me of the old philosophical situation in which a train engineer knows that 2 people are lying ahead on the track and he cannot possibly stop in time and not kill them. However, he can take a turn in the track which is under construction and derail the train and most certainly kill hundreds of people riding on the train, however saving the lives of 2 people who are not on the train. What's the logical thing to do? (The doctor's and the FDA are the train Engineers) Judd

>>Then I understand you're saying that Warner Lambert is an unethical company is that correct? Also, by your implications you can also include the FDA with your statement is that correct? Did I not say in a post precedent that that accusation is precisely what I would never presume to make? exchange2000.com Yet you seem determined to derive that inference. Just because one decides to undertake an affirmative ethical act against their own interest that does make another that does less necessarily unethical. It depends on the facts and they are not complete at this time. What is troubling is that it appears that WLA decided to change its labelling disclosure concerning the risks only after Glaxo's actions. Take some Zantac, you and your gum company will both profit.
