This is not really an issue about culture. The writer maybe is trying to turn it into an issue about culture. It's an issue about science. To put in into it's simplest terms, in a scientific setting religion should always have less priority than science. Some think it should always have less priority.
Another thing puzzles me about the author. Is he saying that multi-culturism cannot itself be a cultural trait? He seems to be fearlul of change. This resistance to change is likely based in religion. One thing that is important for ALL humans, Islamics, Christians, everyone, to understand is that we are all about change, we are emergent beings. We are always changing. If that were not true we would still be living like the other animals. I guess resistance to change is one of the things that holds us back.
I agree that every step toward sterility in any environment where invasive proceedures are undertaken is good but are efforts being made to make the room and all the equipment that is in the room sterile. They wash hands, wear gloves that may or may not be sterile, they wear special clothing, clean the patient, but all the while the room where the proceedure takes place is largely ignored in terms of sterility. There is a higher degree of strerility in a semiconductor manufacturing facility.
