Such lovely bio bias is reminiscent of the following

Sir John Erichsen (1873):

"There cannot always be fresh fields of conquest by the knife; there
must be portions of the human frame that will ever remain sacred from
its intrusions, at least in the surgeon's hands. That we have already,
if not quite, reached these final limits, there can be little
question. The abdomen, the chest, and the brain will be forever shut
from the intrusion of the wise and humane surgeon."
