Why should human health and environmental health be considered together?
BIOETHICS / Bioethics: A Global Approach
"Also, for us—the writers of this textbook—it does not make much sense to consider duties towards human health and the environment separately. Recent developments in molecular biology, such as epigenetics and exposomics, demonstrate that such separation is unhelpful. Recent initiatives such as OneHealth link human, other-than-human, and ecosystem health and advocate for a transdisciplinary approach to health. Such a transdisciplinary approach not only involves biological and biomedical scientists but also includes sociological, legal, ethical, and political perspectives. This book aims to give a broad overview of the method of bioethics and some of the central debates in the field. It is aimed at students of philosophy, biology, biomedical sciences, bioengineering, and all those interested in researching and working with life in the widest sense."
