Galen and Experimental Methodology

• Galen wanted to demonstrate the irreversibility
  of the flow of urine from the bladder "south".
• Virtual Galen
• Can we describe this procedure as scientific
  and why?

Does this statement define the standard of true
experimentation?

• Galen concludes his argument with this very
  important statement
• "Now if anyone will but test this for himself on
  an animal, he will condemn the errors of others
  and learn also the true reason."
• Implications??
