A humane version of the biomedical sciences would, for instance, acknowledge that it is not about to transcend the limits of the human body, and so it would no longer make promises that it cannot keep. Beyond that, a science that acknowledges an unconscious component in its operations, if not in its methodology, will best serve its practitioners as human beings, as well as being most likely to generate lasting value for the rest of us.
但这些承诺是不可持续的。例如，一种人道的生物医学承认其目的不是超越人体的局限，因而也就不再会做出无法兑现的承诺。除此之外，能够承认其操作中存在无意识因素的科学，只要这种无意识不存在于其研究方法中，就最有利于其从业人员作为人类大展拳脚，也最能够为我们其他所有人创造具有长期价值。
