Disability Bioethics: Moral Bodies, Moral Difference

by Jackie Leach Scully and Jackie Leach Scully director Disability Innovation Institute University of New South Wales

This book reconceives disability as a set of social relations and practices, as experienced embodiment, and as an emancipatory movement, as well as a biomedical phenomenon. The author brings new attention to complex ethical questions surrounding disability, looking at not only the biomedical understanding of impairment, but also its cultural representations and social organization.
