A Social History of Seoul National University Hospital
The author traces the evolution of Seoul National University Hospital (SNUH) and its predecessors, focusing on their transformation from the 1960s to the 1980s. Starting as an impoverished governmental hospital of a postcolonial country, it grew into a major South Korean biomedical corporation with many faculty members with American training, a new main building with the latest technologies, and a larger independent budget supported by the Nation…

Joseph E. Murray’s Struggle to Transplant Kidneys
This paper offers a historical analysis of the American plastic surgeon and Nobel laureate Joseph E. Murray’s kidney transplantation. After succeeding in the first kidney transplantation between monozygotic twins in 1954, he transplanted kidneys between genetically distinct people after X-radiation and immunosuppressants. Amid these achievements, however, Murray encountered numerous failures, which he thought were closely intertwined with each pa…
South Koreans’ responses to evolution and creationism
I analyze the results of a survey on the public reception of evolution and creationism in South Korea. I reconfirm findings from previous studies, which demonstrated the significance of antievolutionism in the country. The proportion of Koreans who deny or are skeptical toward evolution constitutes 31.6% of the population. They tend to be Protestants, women, seniors, political conservatives, and from rural regions. I also report several seemingly…
Exploring Advance Directive Perspectives and Associations with Preferences for End-of-Life Life-Sustaining Treatments among Patients with Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators
Deactivation of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is a critical issue in the advance care planning (ACP) of ICD recipients; however, related perspectives have rarely been explored. Thus, this study aimed to provide an initial investigation of ICD recipients' perceived susceptibility and barriers/benefits regarding ACP and/or advance directives (ADs), and associations of these modifiable factors with preferences for end-of-life life-…
Kavita Sivaramakrishnan, As the World Ages
Since the 1940s, when gerontology began as a science, ageing has been a contentious subject. Early American and European gerontologists—including Edmund Vincent Cowdry, Valdimiar Korenchevsky, Clark Tibbitts and Nathan Shock—struggled to institutionalise their field, because it was hard to lead people to believe that ageing was a legitimate academic subject with a clear boundary and identity. Ageing was an ambiguous phenomenon, about which little…
Managing failure
Sir Peter Medawar experimentally demonstrated immunological tolerance through his tissue transplantation experiment in the early and mid-1950s. He made a central contribution to modern biomedicine by showing that genetically distinct cells introduced into a body during its foetal phase could not only be permanently tolerated but also make the host accept any subsequent skin grafts from the original cell donors. However, this discovery had only a …
Guest Editor’s Introduction
Creationism is a system of belief in god's creation of the world, including humans and other living organisms. Many religions of the world have their own versions of creationism. Yet historians have tracked down the historical origin of its modern form, associated with a resolute denial of evolutionism, in early twentieth century American Christian fundamentalism. Experiencing the threats of the First World War, labor unrest, communism, and highe…
Science, state, and spirituality
This paper presents an analysis of the birth and growth of scientific creationism in South Korea by focusing on the lives of four major contributors. After creationism arrived in Korea in 1980 through the global campaign of leading American creationists, including Henry Morris and Duane Gish, it steadily grew in the country, reflecting its historical and social conditions, and especially its developmental state with its structured mode of managin…
Biological Aging and Social Characteristics
The intramural gerontological research program in the National Institutes of Health underwent a substantial growth after its creation within the precincts of the Baltimore City Hospitals in 1940. This paper analyzes its development and the associated problems of its early years. Gerontologists aimed at improving the social and economic life of the elderly through scientific research. With this aim in mind, they conducted various investigations us…
Germs, Hosts, and the Origin of Frank Macfarlane Burnet's Concept of "Self " and "Tolerance," 1936-1949
In the early twentieth century, the living organism's ability to distinguish its "self" from foreign entities such as bacteria, viruses, transplanted tissue, or transfused blood was a major problem in medical science. This article discusses how the Australian immunologist Frank Macfarlane Burnet arrived at a satisfactory explanation of this problem through his 1949 theory of "self" and "tolerance." Burnet's theoretical work began from his study o…
