Today, modern medicine is capable of more than ever before: personalized therapies, artificial intelligence, and human research. But who decides what is permissible? Who protects patients? And how can the law enable medical innovation rather than merely restricting it? Using easy-to-understand examples, this book illustrates how medicine, law, and ethics work together to generate knowledge—and why trust is a central resource of modern medicine.
