In areas where the government has not subsidised the cost to industry in either the research or manufacturing of aforementioned medications then price will be determined by the companies producing as they deem necessary to re-coup their expenses. |

Ask the experimenters why it is morally okay to experiment on animals, and the answer is: "Because the animals are not like us." Animal experimentation rests on a logical contradiction." - Charles R.
