The relation between religion and medicine, apart from being an emotional issue, is a complicated one because of historical reasons as well. For much of history, practitioners of medicine used to be religious scholars as well, and many hospitals to this day are run by religious institutions. So then how do we draw the line between one religion from another (e.g. these faith healers)? Perhaps, even more importantly, who gets to draw that line? I would go with secular governmental authority (NIH, for example), but of course different countries will also have different authorities making these decisions. Also, check out the <a href="http://sciencereligionnews.blogspot.com/2010/02/science-tissue-ethics-and-faith-healers.html" rel="nofollow">recent post</a> on the same topic.Salman Hameedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04327330113822656571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38085367.post-1896818949724383602010-02-04T15:23:27.500-05:002010-02-04T15:23:27.500-05:00It always amazes me to hear about people who still...It always amazes me to hear about people who still conform and cling to these outdated practices. Religion and logic should never be dealt with as being mutually exclusive. While we would hope that this is due to a lack of better educational training, this link to an article describes the position Christian Scientists take against medical treatment: http://www.questia.com/googleScholar.qst;jsessionid=LrrH2ybJgFvknpp8p9tPQ4cGJN4Ts01hJYH6yLt4KQTpthLLmvTG!1491586387!2064974013?docId=5002219881 (you may need a subscription to Questia to view the entire article, but you can get an idea of how ridiculous the situation is from the excerpt)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17615605570022350290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38085367.post-609397544521192832010-02-04T07:37:25.111-05:002010-02-04T07:37:25.111-05:00Many institutions limit access to their online inf...Many institutions limit access to their online information.
