What is the importance of ensuring Laws are in place to make sure that the client will receive optimum care in this technology-led world?

Managing the risks of new technologies is so important. New and existing technologies pose numerous established and potential health, safety, environmental, and socioeconomic threats. Law, through legislatures, regulators, and the judiciary, is the primary societal establishment for reducing these risks (Jasanoff 1995). The law depends heavily on science to ascertain the risks identified when constructing such regulations. Consequently, risk regulation entails two levels of science-law interplay: the role of law in regulating risks posed by science and technology, and the use of science by law to assess risk posed by new and existing technologies.
