“Because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator . . .” (Romans 1:25). When mankind worships creation, ignoring the Creator and his revealed Word, they will never have a proper perspective on life and the universe. Instead, they will “[become] futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts [will be] darkened” (Romans 1:21). And that’s exactly what we see in a recent article in the UK medical journal, Lancet.
This article, introducing an upcoming series of articles, argues for “One Health,” a term described by Breitbart as a “‘revolutionary shift of perspective’ away from human-centered health care in favor of ‘ecological equity’ attributing equal value to all life” (emphasis original). What does this mean?
Well, One Health is “an integrated, unifying approach that aims to sustainably balance and optimise the health of people, animals, and ecosystems,” because “the health of humans, domestic and wild animals, plants, and the wider environment (including ecosystems) are closely linked and inter-dependent.” This is in contrast to the “traditional” approach which is supposedly “purely anthropocentric,” meaning humans are the primary focus of medical concern.
