Abstract
Human vulnerability has come to light in recent years because today's individualistic and hedonistic society has not been able to ignore the fact that it is weak compared to nature and that science, although powerful, cannot completely avoid human suffering. Martha Nussbaum provides us with an informative reflective basis from which we can see that individual and collective suffering should lead us, through solidarity and altruism, to attempts to subsidize the social effects of suffering. We should not only understand suffering, but also remedy it, and one way to do so is found in politics. Vulnerability and justice are necessary approaches in our society. © The author © Global Bioethics Enquiry.
