Mahatma Gandhi in his book HindSwaraj published inComment:1: Gandhi was not a medical professional. Accordingly his view on thisprofession cannot NOT be accepted as an expert view. 2: What was "modern medicine' in 1908 could be classified as ancientmedicine or even quackery in 2009. Such have been the advances ofmodern medicine even in the past 5 years. 3: Did Gandhi write about his own profession i.e. Law?4: I can reasonably assume that No Young Person in India is practisingGandhi's prescribed method of sex i.e. Don't Do It.jc Joao comments: Well said, indeed.
