Absolutely not - in order to meet anti-trust issues of the US and the EU would require them to sell off so many brand names that they would create a company a new company roughly the same of the two of them already. Where the Gillette merger made some sense because it brought a strong male product presence into PG where PG did not have have a large presense, and the JNJ purchase of PFE personal care products expanding JNJ in areas it wasn't before, and PG-JNJ merger just doesn't make sense. There is just way too much overlap and would do nothing for either company's share price because the street would realize that it just couldn't happen right now.

There would be major anti-trust issues both here and the EU.
Many divisions would have to be spun off. I believe a merger has been discussed but never moved forward.
