- Sovereign Virtue: The Theory and Practice of Equality by Ronald Dworkin
Harvard, 511 pp, £23.95, June 2000, ISBN 0 674 00219 9
In the 13th chapter of this formidable collection of Ronald Dworkin’s writings on equality, we are asked to consider a problem about health cover. The chapter is entitled ‘Playing God: Genes, Clones and Luck’, and the problem has to do with the availability of health insurance to those who are revealed, by genetic testing, to have a higher than ordinary risk of contracting some disease that may require expensive medical treatment.
