Synopsis
Health as a human right has become pervasive. It has been acknowledged by a variety of international law documents, which entered the political realm and academic circles. Yet, despite its prominence, health as a human right remains a mystery —especially with respect to its philosophical underpinnings. To address this unfortunate insufficiency, Health, Rights and Dignity critically assesses the stipulation that health is a human right, which—as international law holds—derives from the inherent dignity of the human person. The author scrutinizes concepts underlying this stipulation (health, rights, dignity) and concludes that such a right cannot be upheld from a philosophical perspective.
