Disability Ethics

Disability ethics is a branch of bioethics that focuses on the moral considerations surrounding individuals with disabilities. It examines issues like autonomy, access to healthcare, and the societal values that shape how disabled people are treated. The aim is to promote equity and respect for all individuals, ensuring that their rights and needs are recognized in healthcare decisions, policy-making, and public attitudes. Ultimately, disability ethics advocates for a society that values diversity and inclusion, challenging stigmas and biases that can lead to discrimination against people with disabilities.
