Regulation

 I think it would be difficult to regulate international pharmacies on the internet. Instead I think it would be better let customer responses and feedback determine which international pharmacies stay in business. Maybe there could be some type of seal of approval from the FDA for international pharmacies that meet FDA guidelines. Like we discussed in class, I don't think it would be beneficial to impose FDA guidelines to international pharmacies. Developing countries most likely can't afford the clinical trials the FDA requires. Authentic drugs can still come from developing countries, there just isn't a total guarantee of authenticity.
