Justification for Medicine?

   Although the field of medicine in meant to develop and utilize cure for illness, it also has its own downfall. The development of the lobotomy is probably one of the most prominent examples of a negative development of medicine. Especially today, such a crude process of surgery is seen as a purely evil method in an attempt for a cure of widely unknown diseases. However, during the development of this surgery, justification was often fabricated for such an invasive and brutal surgery with a wide array of side effects.
  
   The lack of knowledge often leads people into searching for a way to gain such lost knowledge. However, these searches are sometimes conducted with unbroken determination for the goal, with little consideration of the consequences of the actions that may be taken. Walter Freeman pursued his goal for a cure for mental illnesses with great determination, while also managing to ignore the nature of his methods and the consequences of his treatments. Justification for such actions lie only on the argument that in order to achieve knowledge in the field of medicine for undocumented illnesses, any measures should be allowed, including the experimentation of methods on humans. However, such a justification is blatantly fabricated in order to supply a hasty method of pioneering new methods of medicine.

    Justification for the use of humans in order to gain knowledge for the treatment of uncured, undocumented or unknown diseases is one of the most ridiculous arguments one may hear in the field of medicine. Although modern medicine has established processes to prevent, immediate, crude and often - for the lack of a better word - stupid experiments on humans, such regulations can be considered rather recent and modern. The process of the lobotomy was tested and performed on humans for the simple sake of seeing what it could do. Such arrogant, foolish and childish actions can never be justified by any arguments, no matter the goal. The immediate experimentation of human beings is inhumane, no matter the nature of the experiment. Until safety of the patients can be truthfully declared, new experiments should not be implemented on human patients.
