Johnson & Johnson
The first thing I think of when I see the label for the Johnson & Johnson company I think of innocence and how a lot of there products were made for a baby's health. Now my thoughts have completely changed. They payed $2.2 billion to certain types of advertising and to provide certain drugs to patients of a retirement home. These certain drugs had horrible side effects and were life threatening. This caused a lawsuit against the company. It is crazy to think that the company who would frame innocence of a child and provide products for babies and young children! This act is absolutely disgraceful. The fact that they do not care about the lives of these elderly patients makes me question what drugs were used in there past products. Did they use certain drugs that were dangerous in there products to children? They should be ashamed of this stunt they tried to pull. I hope there was no incidents like this in the past that perhaps no one knew about and they got away with it. I will never trust there products from now on.

I basically agree with your sentiments. It is interesting, though, to think how we would have reacted if the drug had been approved for these treatments, all other things equal. Would we find it equally offensive if a physician had withheld these approved drugs for treatment if they were approved? Why is it that the actual approval seems so important for our moral calculus?
