CALL FOR PAPERS
From disabled writers
Disabled people * a right to live?
All three papers will take a social model approach and will address the issues around the Right to Live agenda for disabled people
from birth through to death. We are interested to show how each individual paper relates to the others. The papers should explore
the impact on British society; compare/contrast with the values of other cultures (especially non-Western); how the issues are
driven/influenced by the tug between secular and non-secular, cultural beliefs and by financial resources agenda which may be
hidden under the guise of 'rights', 'choice', 'control' and 'ethical/moral' considerations
The papers will address one of the following:-
a) Pressures that families / parents may face, during a pregnancy, to terminate a life due to either impairment of the foetus or
the mother’s and/or father’s impairment,
b) The involuntary mercy killing of disabled people by professionals / paid carers / family members and friends
c) The ‘Right to Die’ issues, euthanasia, and assisted suicide relating to disabled people.
