Description

Medical ethics confronts unprecedented transformation as artificial intelligence reshapes clinical decision-making, personalized medicine promises individualized treatment, and economic pressures challenge medicine's foundational commitments. This volume provides healthcare professionals, bioethicists, and policymakers with rigorous ethical frameworks for navigating complex decisions in contemporary practice. The authors examine how traditional principles of autonomy, informed consent, and patient safety must adapt when technological advances affect all aspects of medical care, from diagnosis to treatment. As health care becomes increasingly globalized, structural determinants such as poverty, law, and resource scarcity play an increasingly prominent role in the delivery of clinical services.
