@High Seas,
Quote:Medics here have been prosecuted for, e.g. conducting autopsies without prior consent on Alzheimer patients and supplying brain slices to pharmaceutical researchers for drug-testing purposes.
Good to see things have changed since the renaissance when they used to steal corpses and Christianity was removed from power.
There is a lot of research that is ignored because it is not published in english. Russian research on viruses to kill bacteria was poh-pahed by western doctors who said they already knew all that...but still they wont use viruses to save lives. It would have to be done locally at a hospital level and there is no money for large corporations in that whilst there is the capability for viruses to replace drugs to control infections, especially post operative. Clearly not a desirable outcome for drug companies.
The Chinese bill the family of the executed criminal for the bullet and donate the body to organ transplants and research. Survival in the pharmaceutical world, as in the natural world, is to the fittest and sentiment be dammed.
