全球一级在健康和人权方面的差距不断扩大，这是世纪经济和军事剥削升级以及人口指数增长所带来的进步的阴暗面。在这种情况下，即使是最基本的普遍人权也不可能为所有人实现。当医疗保健被商品化并在市场上被利用来谋取商业利益时，改善人口健康的目标也同样难以实现。认识到困扰我们世界的强大力量并致力于扭转这些力量，对于实现所有人的人权、改善公共卫生以及保护地球上最有特权的人的“合理的自我利益”所需的和平进步至关重要，这些进步是防止战争、疾病和其他因普遍贫困和生态退化而产生的破坏性力量升级所必需的。
Widening disparities in health and human rights at a global level represent the dark side of progress associated with escalation of economic and military exploitation and exponential population growth in the 20th century. Even the most basic universal human rights cannot be achieved for all under these circumstances. The goal of improved population health will be similarly elusive while medical care is commodified and exploited for commercial gain in the marketplace. Recognition of the powerful forces that polarize our world and commitment to reversing them are essential for the achievement of human rights for all, for the improvement of public health, and for the peaceful progress required to protect the "rational self-interest" of the most privileged people on earth against the escalation of war, disease, and other destructive forces arising from widespread poverty and ecological degradation.
