Definition
One design is an approach that includes all stakeholders as clients and co-authors in all design actions.
To address reasonable social studies concerns expressed about the notion of "one world, one health", 2 this does not mean one approach, one knowledge, one culture, any top down or centralised coordination. One here simply refers to all having a say and a go in an interconnected world.
Feasibility
Until recently the notion of rights for nonhuman beings tended to be dismissed as nonsensical.
However, in legal history every extensions of rights to a new group used to be seen as "unthinkable". 3
