AIDS is a disease that has killed millions of people all over the world. Most of the cases of AIDS in the world are in poorer countries where the people can’t afford to buy the drugs that would help keep them alive and healthy. Many AIDS Advocacy Groups (AAGs) are trying to help the people in these developing countries get the health care they need to fight AIDS. AAGs are doing this in several ways.
First of all, they argue that the profits of these companies are too high and such high pricing is immoral in the face of such a devastating disease. AAGs believe that major drug companies should sell their AIDS medicines at a much lower cost so that AIDS patients who have very little money would not have to choose between buying their food or their medication.
Second, AAGs are trying to get governments to pay for AIDS drugs instead of individual people. In general, when buying in large quantities, the price goes down. Therefore, if a government bought enough medication for all the AIDS patients in its country, then the price per bottle of medication would be much lower than the price individuals currently pay when buying medication on their own.
Third, AAGs are beginning to encourage poor countries to make their own cheap versions of AIDS drugs, even though it is illegal to do so. If the drugs were made in the same country, this would not only reduce shipping costs, but it would also give many people jobs in these poorer countries.
The text proposes the idea about enabling a cheap AIDS drug in low-income countries, whereas the professor suggests the otherwise. Furthermore, the lecture contradicts the passage with three cogent arguments.
Firstly, the text advice to cut profit for the drug company is ineluctable. The lecturer says that the profit is very fundamental in a business because it is important for the survival of the company. Although the text believes it is unethical to take advantages from under resource people, the profit itself will benefit the population in the long term. The lecture points out that the profit will bring a new investment, hence more income. Consequently, more funds mean more drugs.
Secondly, even though the text maintains that the government, who should provide the drugs for the entire country, will get cheaper drugs because they buy in large quantities, the professor claims that statement not feasible. The lecture states that the poor government simply has no money to do so.
Finally, the encouragement to produce a cheaper version of the drugs locally is implausible because it considers illegal. Additionally, the lower price may happen not only because reduce shipping cost, like stated in the passage, but also because of the use of a tinted material. Even though, the text states that the recreation of the drug will open new job opportunities, the lack of quality control may cause harmful effect to the patient albeit dangerous.
