In this essay, João Lobo Antunes explores the remarkable transformation of medicine in recent decades. It focuses on the science, practice, and ethics of this new medicine, explaining how it has integrated scientific and technological progress, adapting to a new economic, social, and even moral ecology, and to the demands of an increasingly informed society about the power of medical art. Looking to the future, the author expresses concern about aging, uncertainty about the sustainability of health systems, a need for "translational" medicine, and a possible utopia of "personalized" medicine.
