| Abstract: | Health and salvation are related terms, because each seeks the well-being of the whole person. When placed within the Judeo-Christian context, health as salvation can be defined as the highest good for the total human community. This good is denied to humanity through the unequal use of the world's resources, a fact underscored by the current energy crisis. Two questions must be answered: 1) Do we possess the scientific means to rectify this ethically unacceptable situation? 2) Do we desire to implement the necessary steps to change, should they be found? |
