Rich and poor: a paradigm of mutual co-existence?

Abstract

The division of rich and poor in society is unavoidable. In the modern times, the power structure due to wealth is stronger in health care and in environmental projects. The bioethical problems in those areas due to this are discussed. The problem mostly stems from the sense of alienation in both segments of the society, the executor and the user. Some of the ways to minimize this alienation are discussed. Finally arguments have been put forward that the feeling of alienation towards the environment is the root cause for the present environmental degradation.
