Disability : Definitions, Value and Identity, Paperback / softback Book

Disability : Definitions, Value and Identity Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

What is disability? Why terminate a pregnancy when disabling traits are diagnosed in the foetus?

Can disability be part of a person's identity? These are important questions in the current climate of increased pre-natal screening programmes designed to further reduce the numbers of children born with disabilities.

This book looks at disablement from a philosophical perspective by examining these questions through a combination of critical review, discussion and narrative theory.

Disability: definitions, value and identity provides practical and concise information for social care workers, counsellors, academics, students, genetics counsellors, and medical and healthcare ethicists.

It will also be invaluable for disability pressure groups and policy makers.
