Dvir levin
The Right to Choose explores the evolution of patient rights, medical autonomy, informed consent, and shared decision-making. Combining history, law, bioethics, healthcare policy, and international comparison, Dr. Dvir Levin examines how the relationship between patients and healthcare systems has changed from traditional medical paternalism toward a rights-based model. The book considers the challenges that arise when individual choice meets medical responsibility, limited resources, institutional pressures, and competing ethical values. Drawing on developments in Israel and healthcare systems around the world, it offers an accessible and research-based examination of one of the central questions of modern medicine: who ultimately decides what happens to our bodies?
