Ethical Issues of Using Gene Therapy in the Treatment of AMD
Condition(s) studied
Study summary
The objective of this study is to examine the legitimacy of gene therapy use in the treatment of exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD). This involves questioning its beneficence/non-maleficence ratio given the limited experience with this innovative technology and its irreversible effects, requiring a surgical procedure for administration. Additionally, the study explores patient autonomy in decision-making concerning complex therapeutic approaches and how patients should be supported to best uphold this autonomy.
