    Hi all

    Does anyone know any good business ethics articles on the issue of the
    ethics of big pharmaceutical companies' charges for expensive drugs that
    help with dread diseases in third world countries? It's a tough issue
    that some of our students are getting into now.

    Best,
    Bill
