This is sad. But more than sad, this woman's death should not have happened. According to the article, both Ortho McNeil (the maker of the birth control patch used by the woman) and the FDA knew of problems related to using the patch. Despite the problems, the FDA approved the sale of the patch. What are the problems? Nothing minor - women using the patch have a 3 times greater risk of blod clots and stroke than those using birth control pills. It appears to me that our goverment is sending a message through its actions. This message is becoming clearer everyday. Your life is not worth as much as the profit that can be made.
Is it not time for us to stand up and tell this government, just as in the 1976 movie, "Network," "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore"? I think it is.
