Quality of Life and Human Difference: Genetic Testing, Health Care, and Disability
David Wasserman, Jerome Bickenbach, Robert Wachbroit
The role of quality assessments in social policy, especially health policy, and ethical and social issues raised by prenatal testing for disability are discussed in this analysis. A theme of the literature has been the role played by controversial assumptions about the quality of life of people with disabilities. This book turns the perspectives of disability scholars to issues that have largely been the province of health methodology, policy and philosophy, while re-directing philosophical policy analysis to problems that have largely been the province of disability scholarship.
