Josh Hardy of Virginia has struggled with health issues his entire young life. After his last bone marrow transplant in January 2014, he failed to recover and was hospitalized with an adenovirus. The rare experimental drug is not available at hospitals like St. Jude where it is found. The life-saving drug is supplied only by a specialist company called Chimerix. The drug Brincidofovir has not yet been released to the public by the Food and Drug Administration. Chimerix previously had a “compassionate care” program that allowed those in need of medical care to request Brincidofovir and be granted the drug, however Chimerix recently moved away from this program and has sought to take its time and work on development and on the progress of the drug to be made public. The drug will only be put on the market in around 2016. The problem remains that a life-threatening matter like Josh's can't wait another two years. Chimerix's initial and subsequent actions are key factors in determining whether the company follows the Benedictine faith, keeping its values ​​properly aligned in light of Christian values. Chimerix was able to showcase Benedictine principles in their company when they decided to give Josh the experimental drug, but their initial decision corrupted the company's morality. Chimerix's initial and final decision contributes to the company's reputation seen through ethical lenses and adherence to Benedictine values. The ultimate goal of a company should be to meet a set of ethical behaviors while maintaining a profit. Chimerix underwent a transition in Josh's case regarding the values ​​he upheld. Some core principles of... middle of paper... New York should have the dignity to automatically step up and reach out to people like Josh. I believe that Benedictine values ​​are fundamental components for a company to survive in this world and also to help others survive. I think Chimerix could have handled the situation much better than they did initially. Chimerix would not have to attract national media attention to change a company's decision; they should automatically know what the right thing to do is. Chimerix faced many complications in adhering to their company's Christian values, but later realized that changes needed to be made to coincide with Benedictine principles. Ultimately, a company's management and leaders should act in accordance with the charter that all individuals are God's people and their work is a symbol of how they value God in their pursuit of following the Benedictine way..
