The Nature of Health: How America Lost, and Can Regain, a Basic Human Value

Paperback edition of the successful hardback from last year (978-1-84619-206-7) which addresses a key issue: how do we organize healthcare services in accordance with fundamental human rights, while competing with scientific advances, powerful commercial interests, and widespread public ignorance? It argues against the pursuit of longevity and suggests an alternative where the ability of an individual to function in worthwhile relationships is a better, more human goal.
