Reconciling the Disability Critique and Reproductive Liberty: The Case of Negative Genetic Selection
International Journal of Feminist Approaches to Bioethics 6 (1):121-143 (2013)
Abstract
The following is dedicated to promoting a version of the disability critique of negative genetic selection while navigating claims that launching such a critique threatens reproductive liberty or is unavoidably antichoice. I highlight problematic conceptual assumptions regarding genetics and choice made by proponents and opponents of selection alike and bring out the underlying ableist values of the prevailing conversation. Ableism is discrimination against persons on the basis of perceived disability. I conclude that the existing social and institutional milieu surrounding genetic selection threatens persons who experience difference with stigma and its accompanying political and social disadvantages.
