Bioethics, neurosurgery, and integral healing

Abstract

[...]far more than ever before, temptations to give new twists and turns to ethics-to bioethics specifically-are numerous, and the number of those who are voiceless, and uninformed, and are prone to be abused and used as mere Guiana pigs, is increasing, not only here in India but also worldwide. Because of new technology, new drugs, new surgical procedures, new hubris about the power of man over nature, and new centers of poverty and deprivation in far-flung places, there is sometimes a new sense in medical and biological sciences about what is possible to do, and therefore must be done. [...]as one wounded soldier wrote home, no side won except the War itself.
