Alexis Carrel, a Nobel
Prize winning vascular specialist in 1912, who in his 1935 book,
L'Homme, cet inconnu [Man the Unknown], had popularized notions of
French biological degeneracy and the need for women to focus on
motherhood (70), became the guru of a medical community that emphasized
hygiene and opposed abortions after 1940 (286).
Alexis Carrel, one of the foremost
scientists, described prayer "as one of
the most powerful forms of energy
man can generate"), it will be like
plugging in on a current whose source
is in Heaven. Among the landmark discoveries described are
those of the Italian anatomist Giovanni Morgagni, who in the mid-1700s
clinched the link between many diseases and distinct changes within the
body, and French surgeon Alexis Carrel, who at the turn of the 20th
century demonstrated the plausibility of organ transplants. |
