Medicine has suffered the full effects of the scientific outpouring of information. ... As a stopgap measure, medical schools have kept the total number of years constant, but have lengthened the per-week teaching load. Thus medical students at Harvard attend twice as many hours of classes per week as law or business students. Of necessity, this makes medical education a very passive business and deprives the student of the single most important thing he desperately needs to learn while at school -- how to initiate the educational process for himself, later on, when he is a practitioner.
-- Michael Crichton (Five Patients, 1970) -

Science is a fundamentally human endeavor, whose purpose is to help us understand the world, better our lives, feed our innate curiosity. It is meaningless, empty, and toxic if placed above or in opposition to human rights and human lives. Humanity and justice must come first.
