Here is the Google Health Advertisement blog post by Lauren Turner (coral cache in case it disappears). Is it me or does this seem on the wrong side of the line between good and evil?

A quote from the blog post:
"Many of our clients face these issues; companies come to us hoping we can help them better manage their reputations through "Get the Facts" or issue management campaigns. Your brand or corporate site may already have these informational assets, but can users easily find them?

We can place text ads, video ads, and rich media ads in paid search results or in relevant websites within our ever-expanding content network. Whatever the problem, Google can act as a platform for educating the public and promoting your message. We help you connect your company's assets while helping users find the information they seek."
