Descripción

Medical screening programs spark intense discussions about their ethical implications and the balance between societal benefits and individual patient care. Juth and Munthe delve deep into the complexities surrounding these programs, probing whether the focus should be on enhancing public health or prioritizing individual patient's rights and needs.

Through a thorough examination of various arguments and real-world implications, they challenge readers to consider the moral responsibilities inherent in health care decisions. The authors explore how screenings can sometimes lead to overdiagnosis and unnecessary anxiety, ultimately raising crucial questions about how best to serve both society and the patient.
