Nobel Prize 2008 in Medicine/Physiology

Today this year's Nobel Prize in Medicine/Physiology was announced to the world earlier time,

Harald zur Hausen(born in 1936)from German Cancer Research Centre Heidelberg,Germany,won the first half prize,for his discovery of human papilloma viruses causing cervical cancer,while the other half was shared by two french scientists:Françoise Barré-Sinoussi(born in 1947)from Regulation of Retroviral Infections Unit, Virology Department, Institut Pasteur Paris ,France,and Luc Montagnier(born in 1932) from World Foundation for AIDS Research and Prevention Paris ,France,for their discovery of human immunodeficiency virus'.

First of all,congratulations to them,such great minds and grand achievement!
But still my hesitation remains over classical western medicine.Is it really that reliable as we anticipate all the time?No one doubts the science and science-based western medicine in this world,and instead of the reigning divinity,science and reason seem to be the dominant belief in this modern age.But i still remember the past ages,like the golden ages and dark ages before,their voices and legacy,those dreams and fantasy,can we just stop for a moment,and look back,meditate on our tracks again?I can imagine someday when a 22th century person happend to read this diary,he must laugh out loud and make a naughty wish for me in the moment.
Anyway,the most concerned prize is always in literature,so lets expect which great writer(s) would be this year's laureate(s).
