Bioethics Crisis in China

Bioethics Crisis in China: "A series of food and drug quality issues worldwide has finally prompted action on the part of regulators in China, where the tainted products originated. Poisonous medicine in Panama, tainted pet food in North America and toothpaste in Central America, are only three examples of improper preparation, handling or other shortcomings in the production processes in the Chinese food and drug industry. The growing list of food and drug items has lead to a bioethics crisis of unprecidented proportions, in the Chinese State Food and Drug Administration, as government regulators try to weed out corruption and restore their reputation."
