Should laws require drug companies to test their products in children?

Pro: Unless drug companies test their products in children, doctors do not start with solid knowledge about how to prescribe medications for that age group. Testing new drugs in children would help determine good courses of treatment.

Con: Children cannot give informed consent to be subjects in the testing of drugs.

Con: Children who are subjected to drug trials may grow up to sue either the drug companies involved or the government that made such testing legal.
