Medicine

Louise I. Gerdes

Whether is a prescription for thin eyelashes or a cancer-killing drug, Big Pharma is everywhere. This hard-hitting volume takes a look at several controversies relating to medicine. Across four chapters, readers will evaluate the challenges that confront American medicine, whether alternative medicine is effective, whether new technologies and policies are beneficial, and the future of medicine. Essay sources include Barack Obama, Henry T. Greely, Robert Ullman, Clare Bowerman, and Judyth Reichenberg-Ullman.
