Reflection

As human beings, we had always have curiosity for learn new things and make new discoveries. I feel that all the processes in the history of anatomy have been a long and hard pathway. I believe that certain things could be addressed in a different way, despite all this I think that has been committed in the past was necessary for us to not repeat the same mistakes by the actual day. Ethical history is very important since it allows us to learn about the mistakes made in the past and so we can know what is wrong and what is right. In my opinion in this case the ends do justify the means, since all that was made was necessary to learn about human anatomy. I am not agree with the methods that some people did in the name of anatomy, despite this, learn about he history made me realize how important is the acknowledgement that we have today about anatomy and physiology.
