Exploring Ethics program: “Neglected diseases: Can social good trump profit?”
Wednesday, Dec. 2

This community forum by The Center for Ethics in Science and Technology will be held from 5:30 – 7 p.m. at the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center (1875 El Prado, Balboa Park). The guest speaker will be James McKerrow, PhD, MD, of Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Associate Vice Chancellor for Health Sciences, University of California San Diego. McKerrow will discuss neglected tropical diseases – referring to major global health problems that affect hundreds of millions of people. Despite the huge burden of these diseases worldwide, there is little or no interest in the pharmaceutical industry in developing effective drugs because these are diseases of poor people in poor regions of the world. There will be discussion of the moral and ethical considerations, and the challenges of developing vaccines, diagnostics, and drugs for these diseases in the absence of profitable financial markets.
