Is medical science purely the technical application
-
of neutral knowledge?
-
Or should we think of it as a cultural institution,
-
also,
-
built by dominant social groups in society,
-
that in some way may reflect their worldview,
-
sometimes may embody their prejudices,
-
and may promote their interests?
-
And at least we should ask the question,
-
if we accept the biomedical paradigm of disease,
-
what are the implications of that acceptance?
-
What are the costs?
