The standard we have for drugs now was paid for in lives.

Elixir Sulfonamide, Profusion of Barbiturate use in the 50's, Thalidomide (which the US missed because of our more stringent rules), Phen-Fen - I can go on.

The standard you have now is also paid with lives. It's the people that can't get a drug in time or can't pay for it thats killing people.
