Article Abstract:
Fetal tissue research and transplantation poses a marketing challenge for healthcare providers as formal channels for donating tissue are still virtually nonexistent, thanks to the prolife Reagan and Bush administrations. Educating the public, and women in particular, about the proven effectiveness of fetal tissue in treating diabetes and other serious diseases is crucial to creating an environment conducive to donation.

Demarketing inappropriate health care consumption: Canada's prized health care system suffers from chronic overuse
Article Abstract:
A model for 'demarketing' healthcare services is presented, with the Canadian market in mind. The use of four deterrents, singly or in conjunction, is suggested. These include copayments, managed care, education and structured inconvenience. Canada suffers from overuse of its free healthcare system, with 71% of the $72.8 billion spent on healthcare in 1993 paid by the government.
