China Blasts U.S. Probe Into Heparin - Opinion

Will we ever get to the bottom of this with anyone accepting the blame, and much less perhaps offer any type of apology? The sad fact of the matter is that the element of "trust" is nowhere to be mentioned...is there a price for "cheaper" solutions...you bet and this is one sad example. Perhaps someday will will have leaders and politicians that understand the evolving ecosystem that we live in today...and perhaps quit relying on some of those economic values that we have used for years, not that they are bad by any means, but dated and don't work.

Economic decision justification continues to erode what is most dear to all of us, human life...we have great healthcare workers all over the world, but unfortunately we have allowed the small item of "cost" to utterly erode the beauty and value of human life...the entire world is brain washed that "cheap" is better...not always the case.

Information technology is going to continue to evolve and quickly...take a look at this video...the information flying at us today from every direction is phenomenal...it will give some very good food for thought...and this is why the world we live in today is literally full of frustrated, angry and dissatisfied individuals...we live in a world of rapidly moving targets...and information is complied and derived from many sources, not like one or two as we have been accustomed to through the past...and how we decide to live as human beings and work together toward common

goals remains to be seen...yes there has been one huge loss with human morality as we have known in the past...and more to come...as we focus more on the "cheap" side of life instead of thinking about the old golden rule as a simple example...are we in fact contributing to making human life cheap? I wouldn't look for this battle of who was to really blame to be solved to anyone's satisfaction any time soon...it appears to have roots of being more about having power perhaps being the upper hand....BD

China's drug safety agency accused the United States on Tuesday of blocking Beijing's inquiry into a blood thinner linked to 81 deaths by refusing to provide details on victims and specifics about production.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said it suspects the problems stem from a contaminant the agency discovered in supplies of raw heparin coming from China — a compound derived from animal cartilage that so closely mimics heparin that routine tests can't detect it.
The Chinese experts said U.S. officials and Baxter International refused to give them information to probe the possibility that drug interactions, patients' medical histories or safety issues after the raw material left China may have played a role.
