Week 4 Medicine+Technology+Art

   This week's topic is truly associate with my major, which is Physiological Science, so it is really amazing when I see so many examples of art in medicine. Actually I do consider human body and medicine as art and that is one reason I choose to study my major. Human body is amazingly artistic works done by the great nature. It is surprising to know that technology are not introduced to hospital until 20th century. Nowadays, technology plays the most important role in modern medical practices. There are also so many medical practices are considering as art.
 
   Plastic surgery would be the number one medical practice comes to my mind when we are discussing medical and art. There are so many people make themselves more beautiful with that technic. People are born different and some of them may not like the look nature gives them. I do think that it is ok to take plastic surgery to make them feel better.

    Thousands of surgery are also considering as art. Take ERCP as an example, which stands for Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography, it can solve problems associate with intestines without digging a hole on your belly. I bet nobody ever think people can give surgery to people without blood before ERCP comes out.
    Human body and medical practices are so fascinating and amazing that makes me fall in love with it. I would say that these things are truly art works.

    Hey Hao. Your blog is quite interesting with the Chinese format. Anyways, back to the topic of this week's blog. You seem to be quite passionate about this topic. I agree that medical practices should be considered as art. I probably wouldn't have thought about that until this week's topic. I like how you brought in a new topic, ERCP. It sounds like a convenient medical practice. How would you relate ERCP to art?

    Hi Hao. I like your point comparing human's bio-engineering with nature's way of alternating species, which is evolution. I never considered this topic with that angle. I recognized "bio-art" along with other medical experiments as unnatural and selfish at first. But with this point in mind, human biotechnology can be viewed as an accelerating tool towards evolution. Nice pictures by the way.
