Problems and disadvantages have existed at all times, but we should not use that as an excuse for despair and retreat. We must see circumstances as an opportunity to revise current knowledge and concepts, and to intensify medical and other research in all areas of life and existence. Today, medical research is even more important than it used to be because it preserves and improves our faith in the value of the scientific method and the prosperity that results from it.
