The Thalidomide disaster was talked about in my undergraduate organic chemistry course. It emphasis the interpretation of new discoveries and most importantly allows us to see that not every new discovery works the way we see it at first. This is the reason major testing of any new discovery must be tested with multiple mediums. The drug was given in Europe because the experts lacked the understanding of the basics of science and different forms of it S & R. This disaster would of never had happened if the experts tested the drug more. The fact it was approved shocks us and we should appreciate the FDA rules and regulations and why they are strict. This was an historical event so it was given attention in the west. Regardless of if this event took place or not, many other drugs and discoveries happened and FDA had to strengthen. For example, it is didn’t strict the rules and regulations, anyone with the rights skills can launch a product without testing and selling on the market with not so strict FDA rules. So this event does not matter.
