Who decides what happens to our bodies—and how did that decision become a human right?
In The Right to Choose, Dr. Dvir Levin explores the transformation of patients from recipients of medical decisions into people with a voice, rights, and the power to choose.
Combining history, medical ethics, law, and the realities of healthcare, the book traces the development of patient autonomy, informed consent, privacy, and human dignity. Israel’s Patients’ Rights Law of 1996 provides a central case study, alongside comparisons with healthcare systems across Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Africa.
The book examines the distance between rights on paper and everyday clinical practice. It considers how waiting times, limited resources, unequal access, and institutional culture shape patients’ experiences, while also addressing violence against healthcare professionals and the need to protect staff.
At its heart is a practical question: how can healthcare systems uphold patients’ rights while supporting professional judgment, mutual responsibility, and safe, compassionate care?
Written for healthcare professionals, students, managers, legal scholars, policymakers, and interested readers, The Right to Choose offers a historical and comparative perspective on the relationship between medicine, society, and human rights.
