Abstract
- The article focuses on the discussion of sociologist Frank Ferudi regarding medicalization. The author reflects that the term was used to describe the process of medical label application and phenomena. He said that the term was confusingly used for it sometimes referred to misapplication of medical terms in moral, social or political phenomena and biological or mental health. Although Furedi had provided examples of medicalization in present day situation, it was not enough and could have gone further by citing changes on genetics and reproductive technology.
