Consider the AIDS and River Blindness cases. Given that Merck is using corporate funds for this program, is Merck's donation of these drugs morally acceptable? Morally required? Explain using one of the moral theories discussed in Module 1. Do Merck's stockholders have any cause to complain when Merck spends their money on these ventures which are not aimed at profit? If this action is morally acceptable (or required) for Merck, then would similar charitable actions be acceptable (or required) for other companies that produce products which would benefit impoverished people? (Ex. food companies, clothing companies, water filtration tech companies, etc) Explain.
