Abstract

Canada's Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) legislation has raised significant bioethical debates over medically assisted death. These debates specifically relate to concerns over whether MAID legislates the belief the people with disabilities' lives are inherently negative. This paper examines MAID and these debates through Marth Nussbaum's capabilities approach and Eva Feder Kittay's care centric conception of disability. It questions to what degree MAID legislates the belief that disability is an inherently negative condition of life and how to best address socio-political factors that contribute to a negative condition of life.

社会是为生活而存在的：残疾、不可想象的生活和MAID。

加拿大的医疗协助死亡立法在医疗协助死亡问题上引发了重大的生物伦理辩论。这些争论特别涉及到对MAID是否立法认为残疾人的生活本质上是消极的担忧。本文通过Marth Nussbaum的能力方法和Eva Feder Kittay的残疾护理中心概念来考察MAID和这些争论。它质疑《残疾人权利法》在多大程度上将残疾是生活固有的消极条件这一信念立法化，以及如何最好地处理导致生活消极条件的社会政治因素。

期刊介绍： The JBI welcomes both reports of empirical research and articles that increase theoretical understanding of medicine and health care, the health professions and the biological sciences. The JBI is also open to critical reflections on medicine and conventional bioethics, the nature of health, illness and disability, the sources of ethics, the nature of ethical communities, and possible implications of new developments in science and technology for social and cultural life and human identity. We welcome contributions from perspectives that are less commonly published in existing journals in the field and reports of empirical research studies using both qualitative and quantitative methodologies. The JBI accepts contributions from authors working in or across disciplines including – but not limited to – the following: -philosophy- bioethics- economics- social theory- law- public health and epidemiology- anthropology- psychology- feminism- gay and lesbian studies- linguistics and discourse analysis- cultural studies- disability studies- history- literature and literary studies- environmental sciences- theology and religious studies
