영문 초록 High-tech medical system has achieved wondrous feats during the past several decades. Antibiotics and vaccine have helped control infectious disease. New drug treatment have brought relief form depression and high blood pressure and doubled the survival rate for children with leukemia. Surgical advances have helped alleviate everything from burns and trauma to congenital heart defects. Moreover, new instruments have enabled doctors to perform various procedures from breast biopsies to open heart surgery, more humanely. These wonders have had surprisingly modest effects on the population as a whole. The greatest advances in public health have stemmed from the development of new techniques for treating illness. However, these high-tech medical system has its own problems. Modern hospitals generally have more pieces of exotic equipment. But technological proliferation adds to the cost of health care and results in unneeded surgery and tests. High-tech medicine also creates paradox: the more it extends life, the more it raises the cost of living longer, Moreover, some of these technologies can be ethically criticized. This paper describes some of the achievement and the negative aspects of modern high-tech medical system in Christian perspective.
