Network on Disability and Bioethics of the IAB
Membership: Open to everyone who is interested in how
bioethics affect disabled people, other marginalized groups
and the public at large and how bioethical theories affect
human/equality rights. Please note that although the term disability is
used in societies for people labelled as having a medical condition or
disease or genetic 'defect' we believe that disability is
a consequence of the societal prejudice, exclusion and
enviromental societal structures people labelled as having a medical
condition or disease or genetic 'defect' are experiencing
Aim: Our aim is to form a worldwide network for the following goals:
1) To increase the knowledge among disabled people of bioethical issues
2) To increase the dialog between disabled people and members of other
marginalized groups on bioethical issues
3) To increase the dialog between the marginalized and 'non marginalized'
groups on bioethical issues
4) To increase the visibility of disabled people and other
marginalized groups in the field of bioethics and Science in general
with the hope of promoting greater
participation in decisionmaking processes and decision making
bodies related to bioethical issues and Science in general
