    Area of Science:

    • Bioethics
    • Disability Studies
    • Medical Ethics

    Background:

    • The disability movement has historically viewed bioethicists negatively, a perception persisting despite bioethicists' claims of progress.
    • Common bioethical responses dismiss concerns as outdated, extremist, or resolved by legislation like the Americans with Disabilities Act.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To challenge the notion that ableism and biased assumptions are resolved in bioethics.
    • To argue for the continued presence of ableism and unexamined assumptions within bioethics.
    • To advocate for systemic changes to address ableism in bioethics.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of historical records and bioethicists' responses to criticism.
    • Drawing on collective experiences of bioethicists in clinical consultation, education, and program leadership.
    • Examining the persistence of ableism and assumptions in healthcare decision-making.

    Main Results:

    • Ableism and unexamined assumptions about people with disabilities remain prevalent in bioethics.
    • These biases lead to discriminatory healthcare decisions, mistreatment, and overlooking viable life options.
    • Decades of counter-narratives and research have not fully eradicated these issues.

    Conclusions:

    • Ableism and biased assumptions in bioethics pose ongoing risks to equitable healthcare.
    • Rectifying these problems requires multi-level solutions: individual, interpersonal, and structural.
    • Urgent attention is needed to integrate disability seriously into bioethical practice and education.
