E-DRUG: Expired Medicines (cont)
--------------------------------
The debate has been on the propriety of 'donating' drugs after expiry
date to 'developing countries. The last sentence of the following
message gets to the crux of the problem. If the drugs are not useful (no
one would accept the drug after the expiry date) in the developed
country, then is it appropriate to ship it to the 'hungry' to our poorer
cousins?
