The objective of this study is to examine the legitimacy of gene therapy use in the treatment of exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD). This involves questioning its beneficence/non-maleficence ratio given the limited experience with this innovative technology and its irreversible effects, requiring a surgical procedure for administration. Additionally, the study explores patient autonomy in decision-making concerning complex therapeutic approaches and how patients should be supported to best uphold this autonomy.
