I've been asked by the editors of Ethics to forward the following
message to the list:
Ethics: Special issue on disability
Attached are highlights from the current issue of Ethics, a
groundbreaking symposium on disability by some of the leading
theorists working on the subject. Highly applicable to current debates
surrounding pre-natal screening, social welfare, and “invisible
disabilities” such as depression, the articles also serve as
ruminations on the nature of personhood.

authors, please contact [log in to unmask] or visit

that have a normative dimension, including philosophy, law, economics,
and social and political theory.
