Though today’s biomedical science claims to search for repairs of nature’s defects, too many of its practitioners behave as if their real purpose were only to gain the mythical immortality of precedence, at whatever cost to themselves or others. Denial of the fear of mortality and projection of the suppressed wish to transcend nature are the marks of a masked effort to create a biomedical science at war with its own stated purposes.
虽然当今的生物医学号称是在寻求对自然缺陷的修复之道，但其众多从业者的所作所为却似乎表明他们了解自然的真正目的只是为了优先获得神话般的永生，而不管自己或他人要为此付出多大的代价。否认对死亡的恐惧和被抑制的超越自然的愿望是在暗中创造一种生物医学的标志。而这种科学的实质与其宣称的目的相互矛盾。
