Re: Dark's Ph.D thesis?
Hi Dark,
Well I definitely think you made a valuable and unique contribution to disability studies, which is dominated by the social model. Every single person that I meet almost, mainly bind people say blindness is simply a different experience of the world, and how technology removes the disability, and how today is the best time ever to be blind etc etc. I particularly find the last statement echoed alot.
Another issue with the social model is if you accept disability as a neutral or even desirable state, then you can conclude that specificly using reproductive technologies to specificly select for a disabled embryo is acceptable. Alot of deaf and dwarf couples apparently are using IVGF to select embryos with deafness or dwarfism over healthy embryos, which I find problematic. What I find even more problamatic is the governments allowing this to happen.
