I'm basically a conservative, so my viewpoint may surprise some of you. I don't think Google has a responsibility to filter out any of their search results. Specifically, on the topic of drugs, I think the world would be far better, if we didn't concern ourselves with what adults ingested. People who use drugs are going to use drugs. If they can get them delivered to their door, all the better. They won't be on the streets endangering others.

Furthermore, if on-line "doctors" are "prescribing medicine" in a dangerous manner, they will be easier for the authorities to find. No drug abuser is going to stop simply because they can't find a source on Google.

If Google starts judging morality and laws, where are they to stop? Will they stop listing eBay because of all of the fraudulent transactions? Maybe they should stop listing fast food restaurants as consumption of their food may contribute to heart disease? How about gambling? The list goes on forever.

If you find something on Google that you think is illegal, report it to the authorities, not Google. If Google starts watching out for our health, will they then become responsible for injuries caused by sites that they failed to catch? I can see the lawsuits now: "Google sued for drug over-doses because the abuser found the supplier using their search engine." Can people just take some responsibility for their own actions?
