Racial Medicine Cabinet
A drug close to the heart - The Washington Times: Commentary - November 13, 2004: "Even so, you don't have to be a medical ethicist to be troubled to see any drug associated directly with a standard as imprecise as race. "
Clarence hits the nail on the head here. Do we really want to open this can of worms? Would it have been okay if it were a white-ony drug or would it just be a great photo op for leaders at the NAACP? Interestingly, I don't think there would be any issue at all if it were an Asians-only drug, but, of course, they don't have any big-money lobbying groups. I can assure you that I only take politically correct medications, but one cannot foresee the future.
