The Disability Bioethics ReaderAuthor(s): Joel Michael Reynolds, Christine Wieseler\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9780367220037, 978-0367220037\nSynopsis\nThe 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.\n\nIntroductory 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: \n\nstate-of-the-field analyses of modern medicine, bioethics, and disability theory\nhealth, disease, and the philosophy of medicine\nissues at.
