[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Myriad concerns over health and safety have surfaced since the World Trade Center terrorist attacks. With the heightened state of tension caused by the seemingly associated presence of Anthrax, it is no wonder people frightened for the nation's future. However, it is important for the student to point out that there is yet another concern revolving around the Anthrax situation that has people divided over its social, ethical and economic impact: Bayer Corporation's high price for Cipro, the antibiotic that effectively contains the progression of Anthrax. Is this German-based company morally and legally right in making money off this terrorist activity by charging the consumer $4 per pill when other nations have it accessible for a mere $10 per month?
