The most basic of human rights, the right to life, is the focus of this book.
'Human rights' has increasingly come to be seen as a significant framework, both to aid understanding of the experiences of those who face oppression, and to underpin social, legal and political measures to counter it. Disabled People and the Right to Life uses this framework to explore how disabled peoples right to life is understood in different national contexts and the ways in which they are or are not afforded protection under the law, emphasizing the social, cultural and historical forces and circumstances which have promoted disabled peoples right to life or legitimated its violation.
Written by an international panel of contributors including individuals holding public office, academics from the fields of law, social policy, disability studies and bioethics as well as practitioners and activists attempting to further disabled peoples human rights, this truly interdisciplinary book will be of interest to students and researchers of disability, law, social policy and human rights.
