strict testing rules are more than enough to stop that anyway, you don't need to give them a longer patent life to do that.
There is more to the creation of a drug than just FDA testing. I think if you pressure companies even more to speed up the process of creating a drug, mistakes will be made. I'd much rather have a drug in my body that was thoroughly vetted than one that was hastily created because the Pharm company had its patent running out.
