The act of distributing potentially dangerous medicine to patients regardless of the affect and harm it may do solely for monetary gain is unethical. Lawsuits
In the 1970s, the negative publicity surrounding the discovery of DESs long-term effects resulted in a huge wave of lawsuits in the United States against its manufacturers. These culminated in a landmark 1980 decision of the Supreme Court of California, Sindell v. Abbott Laboratories, in which the court imposed a rebuttable presumption of market share liability upon all DES manufacturers, proportional to their share of the market at the time the drug was consumed by the mother of a particular plaintiff. Eli Lilly, a pharmaceutical company manufacturing DES, and the University of Chicago, had an action filed against them in regard to clinical trials from the 1950s. Three women filed the claim that their daughters had developments of abnormal cervical cellular formations as well as reproductive abnormalities in themselves and their sons. The plaintiffs had asked the courts to certify their case as a class action but were declined by the courts. However, the courts issued an opinion that their case had merit. The court held that Eli Lilly had a duty to notify about the risks of DES once they became aware of them or should have become aware of them. Under Illinois tort law, for the plaintiffs to recover under theories of breach of duty to warn and strict liability, the plaintiffs must have alleged injury to themselves.

The inheritance probabilities per birth are as follows:

If both parents are carriers:
25% (1 in 4) children will have the disorder
50% (2 in 4) children will be carriers (but unaffected)
25% (1 in 4) children will be free of MSD - unaffected child that is not a carrier
If one parent is affected and one is free of MSD:
0% (0) children will have the disorder - only one parent is affected, other parent always gives normal gene
100% (4 in 4) children will be carriers (but unaffected)
If one parent is a carrier and the other is free of MSD:
50% (2 in 4) children will be carriers (but unaffected)
50% (2 in 4) children will be free of MSD - unaffected child that is not a carrier

Diagnosis
MSD may be diagnosed when deficiency of more than one sulfatase enzyme is identified in leukocytes or fibroblasts, or by molecular genetic testing which shows pathogenic variation in both alleles of the SUMF1 gene. Treatment
As there is no cure for MSD, treatment is restricted to management of symptoms. There is much research on MSD that is currently underway. MSD Action Foundation have initiated more than 15 research projects on MSD in the last 6 years. Many of these have a translational focus. It is hoped that clinical trials for MSD will happen in the not too distant future- Alan Finglas. [Ref 17. Finglas 2020]
