摘要

In this new age of scientific developments, biomedicine makes it possible for us to draw precise pictures of the internal workings of the human body, measure tiny metabolic reactions, exchange organs from one person to another, and even grow babies in test tubes. These accomplishments have enabled us to alter successfully and dramatically the natural history of many diseases. Nobody can detract from these achievements, and it is a matter of course for biomedicine to be regarded as conventional medicine or mainstream medicine.
