According to Silverman et al., the multinational drug companies practice a "blatant double standard" in selling products to poorer nations. Side-effect warnings that are disclosed in drug reference books in industrialized nations are sometimes left out of guides used in underdeveloped lands.

Though Harvard's administrators are justifiably concerned about rising costs in this time of cramped budgets, they should accept them in this case as being the least Harvard can contribute toward the solution...
