Conceptualization of medication, life and death: Religio-scientific approach

Medicine and medication are aspects of philosophy of life and death. Why we get sick, why we take medicine and why we die? Every nation answers these questions in the framework of its own worldview: from where we come, why we are here in this turbulence world, and where we are gone? This mode of que...
