cuss the following:
About one in 5,000 people worldwide suffers from a genetic disorder caused by a defect in
their mitochondria. Few if any of these disorders are being investigated for possible cures,
because developing a new drug is a very expensive process, and there aren't enough people
suffering from these conditions to justify the expense.
Should governments shoulder the cost of developing drugs that are designed to help only a
very small fraction of the population? What do you think should be done?
