Reflect on the hypothetical case of the managers at a pharmaceutical company similar to Merck. Assume these managers needed to decide whether to invest in developing a drug for a neglected disease, like river blindness. Given your understanding of ethical business practices, do you believe these managers had a moral obligation to invest in the drug's development? Can you articulate your stance using a general moral or ethical standard? Are you willing to consistently apply this standard to different business scenarios? Explain your reasoning.
