Equity is the only acceptable goal

The idea that some lives matter less is the root of all that is wrong with the world.

If access to health care is considered a human right, who is considered human enough to have that right?

For me, an area of moral clarity is: you're in front of someone who's suffering and you have the tools at your disposal to alleviate that suffering or even eradicate it, and you act.

The essence of global health equity is the idea that something so precious as health might be viewed as a right.

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

He is not bad, I don't think. Perhaps he is simply too lazy to be good.
