Features: This textbook includes the two courses "Medical Ethics" and "Health Law" set in contemporary medical education. As two distinct courses, they naturally have their own systems. However, this arrangement is not simply the sum of the two courses but rather reflects a logical connection in the content of this textbook. We know that any society needs coordination and cooperation across various fields and aspects—such as economy, politics, culture, science, technology, and education—to achieve harmonious development. As important components of the superstructure of society, both law and morality serve as vital tools for maintaining social order and regulating human behavior. Through the study of this textbook, we should understand: morality is the soul of medicine and the foundation of humanity; law is the "bottom line" of being human and the guarantee of survival. As a qualified doctor, one must not only strengthen their professional ethics but also learn, understand, and apply the law, becoming a medical professional with contemporary legal awareness and moral values.
