Abstract: The Reason WhyThe main reason for looking into medical research at this moment, nationally and internationally, from the top and from below, is that it has reached a kind of cross-roads, and it appears, from many signs on all levels, that it will have to submit to some sort of reorganization-maybe even reformation.One might argue that the successes of medical research, especially during the last 20 years have been so great that the question arises, Why tinker with the basis from which they sprang ?
