Religion's role in health. What's God got to do with it?
Sex, politics, and religion were once polite-conversation no-no's. But as Victorian sensibilities gave way to modern ones, society has loosened up, leaving few value-laden topics taboo. Government's regulatory grip on health care has made any comprehensive discussion of medicine incomplete without some mention of politics. Epidemic rates of AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases have forced medicine's participation in debates about sexuality. But religion has remained pretty much a nontopic, scientifically speaking, until relatively recently.
