Patient’s Right to a Second Opinion in the Same Medical Case

Abstract

In the biological itinerary between conception and death, science raises multiple problems that need to be solved by the absolute respect of the human being, by a permanent balance between the scientific conquests and their significance. Doctor’s activity has to monitor the following aspects: the respect of humans as a whole (nowadays fragmented in gametes, embryos, organs for transplant etc) and avoiding all abuses against human’s liberty of expression.
