Resumen
RAPOSO, Hélder. Risk and uncertainty in biomedical thought: theoretical notes about the rising of quantification and experimental proof in modern medicine. Anál. Social [online]. 2009, n.193, pp.747-765. ISSN 0003-2573.
Biomedicine is a field where the concept of risk has shown an impressive increase in its importance. This fact demonstrates a concern with a systematic problem control through an instrumental rationalizing model, expressing eloquently the investment being made in interpreting uncertainty as risk and the consequent statistical dimension as an ever-more quintessential feature of its scientific profile.
