Few topics in human rights have inspired as much debate as the
right to health. Proponents would enshrine it as a fundamental
right on a par with freedom of speech and freedom from torture.
Detractors suggest that the movement constitutes an impractical
over-reach. Jonathan Wolff cuts through the ideological stalemate
to explore both views. In an accessible, persuasive voice, he
explores the philosophical underpinnings of the idea of a human
right, assesses whether health meets those criteria, and identifies
the political and cultural realities we face in attempts to improve
the health of citizens in wildly different regions. Wolff
ultimately finds that there is a path forward for proponents of the
right to health, but to succeed they must embrace certain
intellectual and practical changes. The Human Right to Health is a
powerful and important contribution to the discourse on global
health.
