Abstract
Biomedicine has been a significant force in medical and
nursing research and understanding, and described by some as
the cornerstone of laboratory-based diagnosis and care within
modern health [1]. Biomedicine’s in-vitro research has significantly
advanced diagnosis and treatment, evident particularly in the area
of carcinogenesis [2]. Historically, from a perspective of vitalism (the
idea of life forces engaging and animating the universe and living
things), Western science moved progressively towards a position
of positivism, reflecting similarity of elements, and subject to the
same laws and dynamic principles [3]. This could be examined
and understood substantially through a biological, chemical and
physiological lens [4]
