    Area of Science:

    • Bioethics
    • Public Health
    • Health Equity Studies

    Background:

    • The popular 'boxes' meme illustrates health equity as a spectator sport, reflecting a neoliberal perspective.
    • This analogy inaccurately defines equality over equity, individualizes health, and views health equity as a static outcome.
    • The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic highlighted that health equity is an active process, not a passive state.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To critique the limitations of the 'boxes' meme in representing health equity.
    • To propose a new, organic analogy for understanding the relationship between equality and equity.
    • To advocate for a relational and radical approach to achieving health equity.

    Main Methods:

    • Conceptual analysis of the 'boxes' meme and its underlying assumptions.
    • Development of an alternative analogy using three plants to illustrate equality and equity.
    • Bioethical discourse on communal relationships and flourishing.

    Main Results:

    • The 'boxes' meme promotes a neoliberal, individualistic, and static view of health equity.
    • The plant analogy offers a relational and dynamic understanding of health equity.
    • This new framework calls for bioethics to focus on nurturing communal relationships and enabling flourishing.

    Conclusions:

    • Health equity requires the intentional removal of systemic obstacles to health.
    • A relational and radical approach, exemplified by the plant analogy, is necessary for achieving health equity.
    • Bioethics must engage with communities to foster communal flourishing and ensure fair opportunities for health.
