This blog is a resource for those teaching disability issues and disability rights and disability studies perspectives in the health and ethics curriculum.
Moving Beyond the "Clash of Cultures"
"The perceptions and values of disabled people (particularly disability rights advocates and disabled social scientists) and of many nondisabled people (particularly health care professionals, ethicists, and health policy analysts), regarding virtually the whole range of current health and medical-ethical issues (treatment decision making, health care access and health care rationing, medical cost-containment, and assisted suicide) seem frequently to conflict with one another....Can we bridge the apparent gulf between disabled and nondisabled perspectives?...The perspectives and values of the disability rights community...need to be incorporated into the ongoing debate about medical practice, ethics, and policy."
