TY - JOUR T1 - Just health: replies and further thoughts JF - Journal of Medical Ethics JO - J Med Ethics SP - 36 LP - 41 DO - 10.1136/jme.2008.026831 VL - 35 IS - 1 AU - N Daniels Y1 - 2009/01/01 UR - http://jme.bmj.com/content/35/1/36.abstract N2 - This paper responds to discussion and criticism contained in a mini-symposium on Just health: meeting health needs fairly. The replies clarify existing positions and modify or develop others, specifically in response to the following: Thomas Schramme criticises the claim that health is of special importance because of its impact on opportunity, and James Wilson argues that healthcare is not of special importance if social determinants of health have a major causal impact on population health. Annette Rid is concerned that the relevance condition in accountability for reasonableness is unclear and does little work. Harald Schmidt aims to flesh out where an account of responsibility for health should go since one is under-developed in Just health. Michael Schefczyk and Susanne Brauer challenge aspects of the prudential lifespan account. Samia Hurst asks what impact a population view should have on clinician obligations. ER -
