Sure the big drug companies give some medicine away to Africa and other third world countries, but they are not just doing it to be nice guys, they get a huge tax write-off for that shit. |
Hey, any time you want to rant about corporate greed (specifically when it comes to big Pharma), I'll be right there with you. However, this has very little to do with an example of science advancing morality, like you asked for. Human beings came up with medicine to tend for the sick (like Jesus Non-Existent Christ said to do). Science drove a great many advances in medicine, making the world a better place. You asked for an example, and there it is.
