[The new molecular physician: engineer, soothsayer or health advisor?].
The label of molecular medicine stands for a variety of scientific, diagnostic and therapeutic developments. While these aspects of modern medicine have relatively little in common in terms of the ethical tissues they raise, they change the overall philosophy of medicine in characteristic ways. These changes are analysed in terms of three somewhat non-traditional dimensions of medical practice: the engineering's deal, the predictive dimension, and the role of the doctor as personal health advisor.
