盡職盡責地抗拒死亡：病人獲得挽救生命的緊急救治權（二）【全球瞭望】 試閱
Dutifully Defying Death: A Right to Life-saving Emergency Treatment (II)
「經濟社會文化權利國際公約」第12條保障健康權。在本文中，我們將探討兩個問題：這項權利是否意味著更具體的挽救生命的緊急救治權？倘若如此，後者所提到的緊急救治權是否應在英國國內法院審理？本文將提出兩個命題。首先，病人獲得挽救生命的緊急救治權應為健康權的必要構成。其次，傳統論調反對社會經濟權力的可訴性，該論調不適用於病人獲得挽救生命的緊急救治權。這項權利在英國國內應為可審理的。
Article 12 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights provides for the right to health. Two questions are considered in this article. Does this right entail a more specific right to life-saving emergency treatment? And if so, should the latter right become justiciable in the domestic courts? Two propositions will be made in this article. First, the right to life-saving emergency treatment is a necessary component of the right to health. Second, the conventional arguments against the justiciability of socio-economic rights do not apply to the right to life-saving emergency treatment. Such a right should be justiciable at the domestic level.
