The international society legally has chosen the modern medicine as one of medication sources; however this has a continuous problem. Related to existing dramatic innovations on curative and preventive health, genetic engineering to overcome some technical and medical problems, and so on, the international health communities are faced by bio-psycho-socio-and cultural problems: how can people humanly control the biology processes on sickness, death, and the old age; the medical application on preventive and curative action is forced and limited by social and economic factors; there is a different response to modern medicine by people of developing and developed countries, in rural-urban communities, including a freedom and people (human) right for protecting their health situation. Particularly, there are problems on human mentality related to law and medicine, faced by people in choosing their medical interests, because of the following: the economical benefit of medicament industries versus social (humanly) interests in obtaining medicament, and medical human resources problem in legal and social context.
