I support Preemption

The petition

We the undersigned support the doctrine of pharmaceutical preemption. Congress has given the FDA authority to regulate and maintain the adequacy of domestic pharmaceuticals. State courts consisting of lay juries should not be allowed to second-guess the decisions of well-trained medical staff employed by the FDA. Doing so undermines the scientific process and potentially undermines the future development of new medications. State courts are interested in the health of the individual involved in the lawsuit. The FDA is interested in the health of the nation. Preemption is an essential guard the protects the health of the populace from being overridden by the concerns of the health of a few individuals involved in high-profile lawsuits.
