The development and advancement of medical sciences present us with new phenomena that may, at first glance, seem foreign to the existing legal system. The law, in its various provisions, guarantees the protection of a person's physical being and life against any assault. However, the evolving nature of the medical arts can spark debate among legal and medical professionals when abstract legal rules clash with the humanitarian considerations that underpin medical practice. This raises the question of the extent to which rules of legal liability, both civil and criminal, should be applied to damages arising from medical procedures. Are serving science and humanity sufficient justifications to override civil and criminal legal texts regarding damages from medical acts? Or must a balance be found between these texts and the scope of medical error according to specific legal standards and frameworks? Consequently, the discussion of medical malpractice has become widespread, dominating all forms of media, a hot topic in the courts, and a subject of debate and discussion among legal professionals and specialists in the medical field.
