  • Bell, Nora Kizer

Abstract

Medicine is the practice of humanitarianism. Its purpose should be to help others with benevolence and love. One must not think of one's own interest but should save and help the people who were created by Heaven and Earth (Veatch R. M. A Theory of Medical Ethics, New York: Basic Books, 1981) [1].
