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. 606 $aRight to health 606 $aHealth services accessibility 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aRight to health. 615 0$aHealth services accessibility. 676 $a179.7 700 $aErk$b Christian$0869353 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910168749303321 996 $aHealth, rights and dignity$91940952 997 $aUNINA
