Arivathuve

About the book

Arivathuve explores the fine line between science and pseudoscience, serving as a myth-buster that explains everyday medical science. Beginning with the ongoing debate about vaccination, the book delves into evolution, gender bias, genetic disorders, consanguinity and the laws governing each, examining both Indian and international legal frameworks on these issues. It also discusses advanced medical techniques such as egg and sperm preservation, IVF and surrogacy, presents case studies on various socio-medical problems, and addresses the issues faced by adolescent boys and girls. The book dispels myths, turns ignorance into knowledge and offers a clear understanding of these critical topics in medical science.
