Abstract:
Legal philosophy redefines medieal technology as follows:Medical technology is a deficient technology offered to patients for their benefits in emergency,which however may victimize the patients somehow in the end.Its beneficiary and victim tend to be the same,and its deficiency tends tO amplify and accumulate in the course of development.In spite of the significant capabilities and effectiveness development of medical technology,the security of itself is weakening instead.This,however,is a cost humans have to pay to keep off health threats.
