The right to live: Disability is not a crime
This paper is written by a woman with a physical disability resulting from a neurological injury occurring at birth, as a response to reading an article on the acceptability of ending the life of an infant with a disability. “Disabled people are not breathing medical problems or nature’s mistakes. They are individuals…” She raises some issues around family and the multitude of factors which play a role in shaping the type of life any child will have. Keywords: Ethics
