This thesis explores the topic of serious human cognitive disability in the context of bioethics and political philosophy. The argument in this thesis works on two levels; first as an argument about normative moral and political theory and, second, as an applied enquiry into the ethics of severe cognitive disability. This thesis employs some intuitions and considered judgements about those with serious disabilities, to question the assumptions and implications in some of the dominant Western moral and political theories. This thesis also puts forward some subsequent claims about how we need to address issues related to disability in two particular contexts: abortion and education. |
