PLAN TO TEST PRESCRIPTION STIMULANT
Experts question ethics
What's to question? We already condemn our children to die; it seems to me that doping 'em with a little drugs really isn't very much by comparison.
Besides, pharmaceutical companies have already well-established the existence of "ADD" and "ADHD" and they surely would have no reason to lie about those until-recently entirely unknown "conditions", now would they?
Why, it's a blessing -- a blessing, I say -- that they were around to discover these terrible scourges of childhood. Imagine how awful life would be if kids were active, full of energy and asked endless lists of questions about life, the universe and everything. Clearly something had to be done!
Obviously pharm companies are on the level or they'd have gone bankrupt by now, since an outraged public would, in protest, boycott their products. If you can't trust a multibillion-dollar industry, what exactly can you trust?
Right?
