Disability and the Moral Point of View.
Hyland, Terry
Disability, Handicap and Society, v2 n2 p163-73 1987
Discussions of disability should be within a clearly-defined moral framework if the disabled person's rights are to be translated into society's duty to the disabled. An ethical system based on modern versions of utilitarianism is suggested as a moral framework, supplemented by prescriptions based on social justice and respect. (Author/CB)
