Radioactive Isotope-A RAFT

Radioactive Isotopes are used regularly in medical treatments. Some people feel that they are necessary in the testing and treatment of patients. Others feel that there are better ways to practice medicine. Your job is to choose to represent either a pharmaceutical company [ Neodymium Pharmaceuticals ] that specializes in the uses of radioactive isotopes for testing and treatment or a homeopathic company [ Terra Medications ] that focuses on natural forms of testing and treatment.
