Biomedicine is additionally termed as an allopathic medicine, conventional medicine, mainstream medicine, orthodox medicine, and Western medicine. Biomedicine is the keystone of modern health care and laboratory diagnostics. It implicates an immense space of scientific and technological pathways: from in vitro diagnostics to in vitro fertilisation, from the molecular mechanisms of cystic fibrosis to the population dynamics of the HIV virus, from the understanding of molecular interactions to the study of carcinogenesis, from a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) to gene therapy. Through an anthropological lens biomedicine extends beyond the realm of biology and scientific facts; it is a socio-cultural system which collectively represents reality. While biomedicine is traditionally thought to possess no bias thanks to the evidence-based practices, Gaines & Davis-Floyd (2004) highlight that biomedicine itself features a cultural basis and this is often because biomedicine reflects the norms and values of its creators. Proponents of biomedicine suggest that it stands with many glorious accomplishments: the reduction of high mortality rates like those found in childhood within the earlier a part of the 20 th century, and the eradication of some of the major killers, such as smallpox, polio etc. biomedical discourse tends to focus our attention on medical advances and interventions at a private level
