The pharmaceutical division for the global healthcare company you work for is considering outsourcing clinical trials for a new female birth control patch to an underdeveloped country. This will help avoid the long process to get approval to conduct the trials in the U.S., and it will save your company millions of dollars. You are concerned about the ethics of this.
For this assignment, write a 2-3 page letter to the Global Research Operations Manager describing your ethical concerns with the global health research trials. Explain the ethical issues regarding conducting research trials on underinsured and uninsured people. Include global ethical issues associated with reproductive health.
