Great topic, as a the comment above me mentioned the FDA acts as a ” Gate keeper”/ filter for consumers and ensures that good quality products reach the market that have a minimal amount of impact on their well being. That being said, decreasing the FDA’s ability to monitor and filter out potential harmful goods could be devastating to our market and could result in another Thalidomide tragedy. I understand that we want to introduce drugs/consumer goods to the market at the faster rate, but at the cost of ensuring safety of the products to the consumer… I don’t really agree with that.
