Ashley事件から生命倫理を考える（ミラー）

Persons with cognitive and physical disabilities comprise a growing sector of our society. Yet, health care providers and ethics committee members may lack knowledge, skills, and insight related to disability rights and its impact on health care delivery and ethical decision-making. This conference is targeted to individuals who wish to broaden their understanding of the concerns and rights of people with disabilities in the context of health care encounters. Attendees will learn about the history of discrimination against people with disabilities and the rise of the "social model" of disability, current biases among some health care providers that disadvantage persons with disabilities, and knowledge, strategies, and resources health care professionals and ethics committee members should have or be able to access to appropriately respect disability rights at their institutions and in health care encounters.
