Reproductive Health As a Human Right a Critical Analysis

INTRODUCTION Prelude The most fundamental aspect of human life is health which unfortunately cannot be given or distributed. It is to be actively acquired or won. It forms an integral component of the overall socio-economic development of any nation. It is a matter of concern and cares for certain sensitive members of family and society, irrespective of caste, creed, country, culture, etc. The concept of health keeps changing from time to time and of course, varies from person to person. Some people say the absence of disease is a healthy condition, some even accept obesity is a good state of the body in comparison to normal or ideal weight. So far as a layman is concerned, there is an agreed definition of health, though there have been many definitions put forth by the World Health Organization which state "Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity".
