Technological advances in medicine in ethical and psychological contexts

The book focuses on the ethical and psychological aspects of the latest advances in transplantation, artificial replacements, robotic procedures and the use of artificial intelligence.

In the first part, hematopoietic cell and various organ transplants, including heart, intestine and uterus, are discussed in detail in the broadest context. In this area, medicine is developing extremely rapidly, bringing with it a whole range of ethical as well as psychological problems.

The second part is devoted to the ethical issues of medicine in the information and technological age. It is a context of fascinating possibilities of bioinformatics approaches, arousing admiration, but at the same time also concern, especially in terms of technological and ethical implications raised by the connection of the human brain with computers and the Internet.
