The goal of this text is to show how the drug industry does biopolitics. I am trying to describe the actions of the pharmaceutical industry, its strategies as well as its ability to shape modern science and affect medical professionals, to influence state policy and even to form our perception of what diseases are. I distinguish five fields of the pharma-biopolitical influence: its impact on the scientific and medical environment, the impact on governments, the direct impact on drug users and potential clients, the impact on research subjects in drug testing and finally the impact on bioethicists - and I shortly analyze each of these. I am trying to formulate the main ethical challenges that arise from the pharmaceutical biopolicy. This article may serve as an introduction to further study of the pharma-industry ethics.Bibliografia
