Abstract
By 1896, George Thomas Beatson, a sagacious surgeon of Glasgow, was following the ethical practice of informed consent when operating on patients. Preparatory to this, he meditated on the old practice used on cows by farmers to ensure continuing copious secretion of milk. Thereafter, on obtaining the licence for removing the ovaries of suckling rabbits, the laboratory results encouraged him to skillfully imitate it in the human situation. The two cases of his special operative management of such case were illustrative. Incidentally, Glasgow city also witnessed in 1957 an illuminating lung and liver publication. Likewise, the current genomic researches are blossoming in the Glasgow Institution named after Beatson.
