The idea that there is such a thing as a human right to health has
become pervasive. It has not only been acknowledged by a variety of
international law documents and thus entered the political realm
but is also defended in academic circles. Yet, despite its
prominence the human right to health remains something of a mystery
- especially with respect to its philosophical underpinnings.
Addressing this unfortunate and intellectually dangerous
insufficiency, this book critically assesses the stipulation that
health is a human right which - as international law holds -
derives from the inherent dignity of the human person. Scrutinising
the concepts underlying this stipulation (health, rights, dignity),
it shall conclude that such right cannot be upheld from a
philosophical perspective.
