Medicine is a compound field composed of science and art. The (necessary) degree to which the latter is involved opens medicine, in particular, to the introduction of ideas which do not, by their very nature, submit to confirmation or confutation as do the various methods of traditional science. This paper explores several ways in which a Lysenkoistic ideology can be interjected into medicine changing the manner in which it interacts with both patients and society. Simply, when ideology supersedes evidence the edifice of Western Medicine comes under direct threat. The exploration of this emerging ideological transition in medicine, and science more broadly, is of critical importance to determine the most salutary path forward.
医学是一个由科学与艺术构成的复合领域。后者所涉及的（必要）程度，尤其使医学容易引入一些观念，而这些观念从其本质上来说，并不像传统科学的各种方法那样能够接受证实或证伪。本文探讨了几种将李森科主义意识形态注入医学的方式，这会改变医学与患者及社会互动的方式。简而言之，当意识形态取代证据时，西医的大厦就会受到直接威胁。探索医学乃至更广泛的科学领域中这种新兴的意识形态转变，对于确定最有益的前进道路至关重要。
