Not if it was for a rare cancer.

Let's see, PR value to the company for curing a rare childhood cancer, even at a loss, vs PR value to the company for refusing to produce the cure because it wouldn't be profitable.

Do you really think a corporation could kill a product like that without it being front page news or covered by cable news 24/7 for months?

Would people poor their life into researching cures for diseases in the first place if it wasn't profitable? The cancer analogy is so paradoxical it's saddening.
