Despite increasing global respect for disability rights since the 2008 entry into force of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), the equal right to live in the world for disabled people continues to be undermined. This undermining stems from a range of factors, not least the selective prevention and termination of disabled lives, along with long-standing barriers to life-sustaining care, including restricted access to controlled substances and experimental treatment. Investigating the problem of disability discrimination at the margins of life and death, Tony Bogdanoski draws on a range of materials, including international human rights law, reports of UN treaty monitoring bodies and special rapporteurs, and laws largely from the US, UK, and Canada to explore how selective reproduction, assisted dying, and drug control impact struggles for disability equality. His insights are broad in consequence, spanning the fields of disability studies, human rights, law, and bioethics.
