I think everyone has an obligation not to harm society. Withholding vital medicines because a country wants to break some of your patents is wrong. If Abbott made widgets or something, then it would be different. People in business to save lives have a unique dual responsibility to help people and make money. When they come into conflict, saving lives should win out.
I know I've used Pedialyte solution before, which is one of many VERY common products produced by Abbott. If you disagree with them, there are alternatives to almost all their products.
