Answer: The Code of Hammurabi is a set of laws created in Mesopotamia around the 18th century BC by King Hammurabi of the first Babylonian dynasty.

The code is based on the talon law, "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." It was printed on a block of rock using cuneiform writing.

The laws provided punishments for non-compliance with rules established in various areas such as family relations, commerce, construction, agriculture, livestock. The punishments occurred according to the position that the criminal person held in the social hierarchy.

Nowadays most of people do not have this idea to repay the same suffering that was caused, the idea of punishments according to hierarchy. It was an idea from the past, for people that lived in a different society, with a different structure as well.

Pasterurization and vaccination inventor
Bogdan [553]

Pasteurization is a process where certain packaged or non-packaged food such as milk or fruit are treated with mild heat. The goal of this process is to eliminate pathogens ( infectious agent or germ) and to extend the product's shelf life.

The inventor of pasteurization was the French scientist<em> Luis Pasteur</em>. In his research he demonstrated that thermal treatment would inactivate unwanted microorganisms in wine.

Vaccination is the application of antigenic material (vaccine)  to stimulate the body's immune system and to develop an immunity to a pathogen (germ).

Smallpox was the first ever disease for which a vaccine was developed. It was invented in 1976 by the English physician<em> Edward Jenner.</em> Jenner was the first person to publish evidence that the vaccine was effective. The name vaccination derives from Latin<em> vacca </em>(cow), because it was derived from a virus affecting cows.
