The Disability Bioethics Reader is the first introduction to the
field of bioethics presented through the lens of critical
disability studies and the philosophy of disability. Introductory
and advanced textbooks in bioethics focus almost entirely on issues
that disproportionately affect disabled people and that centrally
deal with becoming or being disabled. However, such textbooks
typically omit critical philosophical reflection on disability.
Directly addressing this omission, this volume includes 36
chapters, most appearing here for the first time, that cover key
areas pertaining to disability bioethics, such as:
state-of-the-field analyses of modern medicine, bioethics, and
disability theory health, disease, and the philosophy of medicine
issues at the edge- and end-of-life, including
physician-aid-in-dying, brain death, and minimally conscious states
enhancement and biomedical technology invisible disabilities,
chronic pain, and chronic illness implicit bias and epistemic
injustice in health care disability, quality of life, and
well-being race, disability, and healthcare justice connections
between disability theory and aging, trans, and fat studies
prenatal testing, abortion, and reproductive justice. The
Disability Bioethics Reader, unlike traditional bioethics
textbooks, also engages with decades of empirical and theoretical
scholarship in disability studies-scholarship that spans the social
sciences and humanities-and gives serious consideration to the
history of disability activism.
