Show summary

Conclusion The relaxation of regulations governing the manufacture and sale of new medicines to increase their availability should not be accompanied by a lifting of all regulations that restrict industrial activity generally. ██████ ██████ █████████████ ███████████ ███ ███████████ ██████████ ███████ ██ ██████ ███ ███████ ████ ██████ ████████ ███ █████ █ █████ ████████ ██ ███ █████████ ███ ███████ ████ ██████ ███ ████████ █ ███████ ████████████ ████████ █████ ████████ █████████ ███ ████████ ██████ ██ ███ ██████████ ██ ███████████ █████████ ███ ███████████ ███ ████ ██ ███ ██████████

Summarize Argument: Counter-Position

The author concludes that the relaxing of regulations for the manufacturing of new drugs to increase their availability should not come with relaxation of regulations for industrial activity in general. As support for the general claim made in the conclusion, the author cites a specific case: endangered plants and animals will become extinct without strict environmental regulations. Many new medicines come from plants and animals, so the extinction of plants and animals resulting from relaxation of regulations could impair the medicine development.

Identify Argument Part

The statement in the question stem serves to demonstrate how general relaxation of regulations could negatively impact the manufacture of new medicines. It connects the extinction of plants and animals with the availability and development of new medicines.
