Opis

During the 20th-century, medicine has been radically transformed and powerfully transformative. In 1900 Western Medicine was important to philanthropy and public health, but it was marginal to the state, the industrial economy and the welfare of most individuals. It is central to all these aspects of life. Our prospects seem increasingly dependent on the progress of bio-medical sciences and genetic technologies, which promise to reshape future generations.
