Description
Résumé:Newell responds to the essays presented in chapters seven and eight. The way in which disability removes dignity and claims to personhood in accounts of contemporary ethics is explored in contemplating Hauerwas' perceptive work, suggesting he led the way in understanding this phenomenon. Yet, for all the value of his insights, it is suggested we need an account of medical ethics, and bioethics in general, which moves beyond talking about disability to being informed by, and commencing with, the narratives of people with disability.
