Every day thousands of individuals worldwide lose their batt

Every day, thousands of individuals worldwide lose their battle with cancer. At the same time, pharmaceutical companies and drug manufacturers are racing to develop and test new drugs that may one day save the lives of individuals who would otherwise succumb to their disease. Often, it takes years, sometimes even more than a decade, and millions of dollars to bring the drug to the open market. Once the drug has been made, it must be approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for distribution and this only occurs after a series of well-controlled drug trials are completed in human populations. There have been several stories in the news over the past decade of individuals with terminal disease requesting use of a drug that has not yet been approved by the FDA.

Should a drug company be forced to provide an unapproved drug for compassionate use by the FDA or should the company be able to decide on an individual basis when to release its drug?

Solution

Drug company should not be forced to provide and unapproved drug for compassionate use by the FDA. Because a variety of side effects could be caused by a drug which could only worsen the situation instead of a cure. Hence this should not be recommended at any cause. Apart from this this will lead to production of large number of illegal unapproved drugs in the market and hence the pharmaceutical industries will not be in a control.
