Preventing Intellectual Disability: Ethical and Clinical Issues Book

Written by an author who is both a paediatrician and a philosopher, this is the first book that covers comprehensively the difficult ethical issues involved in prevention of intellectual disability (ID). These issues are discussed practically and theoretically in the light of four real cases. The cases cover the definition of ID, epidemiology, screening, and genetic counselling. Reproductive autonomy and public health models are scrutinised, and the practical issues of prevention are examined closely with respect to three syndromes. The question 'Why should intellectual disability be prevented?' is raised throughout.Read More
