1366: Antony Davies – Seat Belt Laws

W1366: Antony Davies - Seat Belt Laws
Forty-nine states now mandate seat belt use and motor vehicle fatalities have decreased. But there is more to the story. As more drivers used seat belts, fatalities for pedestrians and cyclists increased. Why? As seat belt use rose, driving became safer. As driving became safer, the cost to drivers of being inattentive fell. And as the cost of being inattentive fell, drivers could afford to exercise less care. So as safety regulations make drivers safer, pedestrians and cyclists face greater risk. —Antony Davies, James R. Harrigan

1362: Mary Ruwart – Patients Die Waiting for New Drugs

W1362: Mary Ruwart - Patients Die Waiting for New Drugs
Cancer patients often die waiting for new drugs to be approved by the FDA? Abigail Burroughs had squamous cell carcinoma, diagnosed when she was only 19 years old. She tried unsuccessfully to get FDA permission to try a new drug (Erbitux) that had shown success against her type of cancer. The FDA refused, and Abigail died at age 21. Abigail’s father formed the Abigail Alliance and sued the FDA. However, the courts ruled that Americans do not have the constitutional right to save their lives with drugs not approved by the FDA. —Mary Ruwart

1357: Mary Ruwart – Zimbabwe’s Elephants

W1357: Mary Ruwart - Zimbabwe's Elephants
In Kenya, the elephant population dropped from 65,000 to 19,000 even though elephant hunting was forbidden. In Zimbabwe, however, natives can claim, or homestead, elephants living on their lands. Natives can legally sell permits to hunt them. Zimbabwe’s elephant population grew from 30,000 to 43,000. People will protect the environment when they own it and profit from it. —Mary J Ruwart

1352: Mary Ruwart – A Parent’s Choice vs the FDA

F1352: Mary Ruwart - A Parent's Choice vs the FDA
When four-year-old Thomas Navarro developed a deadly brain tumor, his parents were appalled at the frequent side effects of the radiation treatments. When they expressed their desire to try a gentler experimental treatment, doctors threatened to take Thomas from his parents and put him in state custody.
When four-year-old Thomas Navarro developed a deadly brain tumor, his parents were appalled at the frequent side effects of the radiation treatments. When they expressed their desire to try a gentler experimental treatment, doctors threatened to take Thomas from his parents and put him in state custody.

The chemotherapy almost killed Thomas. The Navarros refused further treatments, only to find that the FDA wouldn’t permit Thomas to receive the gentler experimental treatment unless he had radiation too. In frustration, the Navarros went to Congress, as other patients have done, to plead for permission to use new drugs not yet approved by the FDA. After a year and a half of fighting, when Thomas was expected to live for only two more weeks, the FDA finally permitted him to have a “compassionate use” exemption.

By that time, Thomas had developed new tumors, called leptomeningial-sarcoma, from his initial chemotherapy. Nevertheless, the experimental treatment kept Thomas going for several more months. How much longer might Thomas have lived if we had honored his parents’ choice in the earlier stages of his disease?

1350: Mary Ruwart – Laws That Prevent Work

F1350: Mary Ruwart – Laws That Prevent Work
A young drug dealer once asked for a job on a public housing project in San Francisco. He approached Chris Albert, president of Willie Electric Company, hoping to get out of drugs and into legitimate work.

A young drug dealer once asked for a job on a public housing project in San Francisco. He approached Chris Albert, president of Willie Electric Company, hoping to get out of drugs and into legitimate work.

Unfortunately, because of the high wages dictated by the minimum wage law, the contractor couldn’t afford to take a chance on an unskilled man with no job record. The young man came back two days later and begged to be employed at a lower wage. “I won’t tell the law,” he promised.
“I want to make a better life for me and for my mom, and for my little sisters and brothers.” Unwilling to risk legal problems, the contractor reluctantly refused.

Two days later the young man was shot and killed. Maybe he’d be alive today if the minimum wage laws had not prevented him from working instead of being on the streets.
