As a person who would certainly be dead without modern medicine, I always find it off-putting when people decry scientific thinking and technology as "defying the natural order of all things," as if I was fated to die and my continued existence is merely some aberration.
Western scientific thinking and modern medicine are neither the whole of scientific and medicinal practice nor incompatible with indigenous/traditional practice. We don't need to abandon scientific advancements that we've already made, but we definitely need to rethink how we conceive of "progress" or we descend into scientism which is just colonialism with a "rational" face on it. Exploitation and culture erasure is not a prerequisite for medicine.
