The Use of Medicine
in Capital Punishment

At Merck, our core mission is to save and improve lives around the world. That mission
drives our researchers to push the boundaries of science with the hope and expectation
that the medicines and vaccines we invent will help patients for generations to come. With
our core mission in mind, we are strongly opposed to any potential use of our products for
capital punishment.
