It wrestles with the charge that bioethics as a discipline devalues the lives of persons with disabilities arguing that reconciling the competing concerns of the disability community and the autonomybased approach of mainstream bioethics is not only possible but essential for a bioethics committed to facilitating good medical decision making and promoting respect for all persons regardless of ability. Through indepth case studies involving newborns children and adults with disabilities it proposes a new model for medical decision making that is both sensitive to and sensible about the fact of disability in medical cases.1. The struggle: disability rights versus bioethics: 2. Clashing perspectives and a call for reconciliation: 3. Infancy: 4. Childhood: 5. The reproductive years: 6. Adulthood: 7. The end of life: 8. Toward a disabilityconscious bioethics. impressive a worthwhile contribution to the field of bioethics and hopefully a model for people who are so struck by these thorny issues that they are likely to take up the challenge to be disabilityconscious.
