Opioid Recovery Facility In Alberta And BC
What parallels can be drawn between the Cali Drug Cartels, the Sinaloa, El Chapo Guzman, and Pablo Escobar, and the Sackler Family?
The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Guggenheim Museum have no collections dedicated to Pablo Escobar or El Chapo Guzman, nor is there a Sinaloa Drug Cartel Developmental Psychobiology Center. Oxford University has no intention to honor the Cali drug cartel by renaming its library.
The Sackler family is known for their philanthropy and donations to various prestigious institutions such as universities, museums, and performing art centers around the world. However, the source of their wealth has been heavily criticized and is linked to the deadly opioid crisis. The Sacklers made a fortune from the sale of the painkiller OxyContin, which is believed to have contributed to the opioid epidemic and has been linked to 500,000 deaths. Despite this questionable source of wealth, these institutions have continued to accept donations from the Sacklers and have not returned any of the money that has been donated.
On the other hand, these same institutions would not accept money from drug cartels, such as the Cali cartel, El Chapo Guzman, or from the now dead notorious drug lord Pablo Escobar, due to their unethical and illegal actions. The Sackler Family, much like these drug cartels, have made their wealth through the sale of addictive drugs and have caused harm and death to countless individuals. They have also been known to corrupt officials and manipulate the law to their advantage. However, the Sacklers have largely avoided punishment for their actions.
The term “philanthropy” when applied to the Sackler Family is a misnomer. The root word “philanthropy” means “love of man” in Greek, but the Sacklers’ donations seem to be motivated more by narcissistic ambition and a desire to have their family’s name attached to prestigious achievements rather than a genuine love of mankind. In contrast, true philanthropy would involve offering reparations to those affected by the opioid epidemic and working to prevent its further spread. Instead of continuing to accept donations from the Sackler Family and allowing them to use philanthropy as a way to distract from their wrongdoing, these institutions should consider returning the money and distancing themselves from the Sackler name.
There are many institutions with the Sackler name associated with them that are currently facing a dilemma. Should they continue to honor a donor whose money was made in such an unethical manner? Does their honor require them to give the money back and remove the Sackler name from their books and buildings? Instead of more Sackler buildings, the Sacklers should focus on directly helping the people they have hurt through the opioid epidemic. A majority of the enormous Sackler fortune should be spent on providing free treatment to those they have addicted. They should also launch a reverse marketing campaign to warn patients and doctors about the dangers of opioid pills, rather than falsely marketing their supposed benefits. It is time for the Sacklers to take responsibility for the harm they have caused and make amends rather than seeking fame through their donations.
