Adequate Health Care – Appropriate Care. The understanding of health is highly relevant in ethical as well as health policy terms because it is linked to entitlement to health services. In addition, conclusions can be drawn from what we consider to be appropriate health care to the current prevailing understanding of health and illness. The article describes the conceptual complexity of the normative concept of adequate health care and the opportunities and challenges of its effective operationalization.
One Health and Human-Animal Relationships: Do We Make Our Animals Sick? Since the very beginning of human-animal relationships, humankind took advantage of animals, as of nature in general. While many people today perceive themselves as animal-loving, in reality we tend to systematically deprive our farm animals and pets of their own nature and health. On our quest to perfect our exploitation of the animal world, we reached a dimension that started to profoundly worry veterinary professionals, animal welfare activists, and also the informed public. Ultimately, this destructive relationship leads to detrimental consequences for both parties: e. g., the extinction of wild animals, or the transmission of diseases from one to the other. However, one could argue that the suffering we cause to animals clearly and by far exceeds the harm caused by, for example, the animal-derived COVID-19. Is this a too provocative hypothesis? This article is an invitation to take a closer look at various facets of our current humananimal relationship with its consequences for both.
