Abstract
Should people have a legal human right to health? And, if so, what exactly does protecting this right require? This essay defends some answers to these questions recently articulated in Global Health Impact. It explains how these answers depend on a particular way of thinking about health and the minimally good life, how quality of life matters at and over time, what various agents should do to help people who are unable to live well enough, and many other things. Moreover, it suggests some ways of improving common metrics for measuring and advancing our collective global health impact.
人们是否应该享有合法的健康人权？如果是，保护这一权利究竟需要什么？本文为最近在《全球健康影响》（Global Health Impact）上阐述的这些问题的一些答案进行辩护。文章解释了这些答案如何取决于对健康和最低限度的美好生活的特定思考方式，生活质量在任何时候以及随着时间的推移是如何重要的，各种机构应该做些什么来帮助那些无法过上足够美好生活的人，以及其他许多事情。此外，它还提出了一些改进通用指标的方法，以衡量和推进我们对全球健康的集体影响。
