Capability to Health, Health Agency and Vulnerability

Bioethics (forthcoming)

Abstract

In this paper, I challenge the argument that if we take health to be a meta-capability, we will be able to address the vulnerabilities that characterize human life. Instead, I argue that some vulnerabilities, like that attached to being a patient, can not be successfully addressed.
