Summary/Abstract: As we are experiencing difficult times, our most important task is to rise up to the challenges presented to us. We have been shown that the healthcare system plays a vital role in upholding society, therefore we as future lawyers need to dwelve deeper into this topic and see what the existing legislation governs, and what needs to be improved. In this article, I shall attempt to discuss the relationship between law and medicine, the rights and obligations of patients, the way healthcare systems can operate and questions regarding data protection and whether DNA testing has a negative effect on the security of our medical information.
