If you were the CEO of a pharmaceutical manufacturer that had spent many years and

millions of dollars in creating, developing, testing, and getting government approval for a new

drug, how would you address the issues of protecting your intellectual property while meeting

the patient/public needs for that drug?

Consider, e.g.:

 Profit and return on investment for company owners/shareholders

 Protecting intellectual property of the company

 Needs of patients, practitioners, and society

 Biblical support and guidance for your positions

 Any other legal and ethical concepts you believe may be relevant

Support your analysis with at least 3 scholarly sources other than the course materials, cited

in-text and in a reference list. You must also integrate Biblical worldview analysis.

This paper must contain at least 800 words and follow current APA format but does not

require an abstract. The title page and reference list do not count towards the length

requirement. Submit your paper as a Word document.
