Drug ads
On one hand I agree with a ban or strong restrictions on drug ads. My brother worked for a major drug manufacturer in Indiana. Their erectile dysfunction drug used advertising to boost sales. The demand was so strong I think the FDA was compelled to speed up their usually sluggish approval system.
On the other hand, I wonder what would happen if the ADR manufacturers would appeal to the public in the same way to pressure the FDA into speeding up the process on artificial discs and other biomechanical devices?
