Sommario/riassunto

Modern medical technologies, especially the pre-implantation and prenatal diagnosis, have given the possibility of preventive dealing with the risks of physical or mental disabilities. On the other side there is the call for support and 'inclusion? of people with disabilities. These opposing trends are critically analyzed and discussed in depth from a legally, genetic, as well as from a medical, social and ethical point of view,

Menschen mit genetischen Behinderungen körperlicher oder seelischer Art gibt es seit Anbeginn der Menschheit. Moderne medizinische Technologien, namentlich die der Präimplantations- und Pränataldiagnostik, eröffnen nicht nur der Medizin, sondern auch der Gesamtgesellschaft die Möglichkeit des präventiven Umgangs mit genetisch bedingten Erkrankungsrisiken. Auf der anderen Seite besteht der gesellschaftliche Anspruch nach einer Förderung und 'Inklusion? von Menschen mit Behinderung. Diese gegenläufigen Entwicklungen bedürfen der näheren Analyse und kritischen Diskussion. Der vorliegende Band ist aus Vorträgen und Diskussionen eines Expertenworkshops, ausgerichtet vom Institut für Humangenetik am Universitätsklinikum Göttingen in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Göttinger



Zentrum für Medizinrecht, hervorgegangen. Ziel dieses Bandes ist es, diese grundlegende Problematik insbesondere aus juristischer wie humangenetischer, aber ebenso aus medizin- wie sozialethischer Sicht vertiefend zu reflektieren.

Sommario/riassunto

In his groundbreaking book Somebodies and Nobodies, Robert Fuller identified a form of domination that everyone has experienced but few dare to protest: rankism, abuse of the power inherent in rank to exploit and humiliate someone of lower rank. It plays a role in just about every form of social oppressionÑracism, sexism, homophobia, and religious intolerance all have a significant element of rankism in them.Most everyone has felt the sting of rankism--at the hands of a dictatorial boss, a condescending teacher, an arrogant doctor, or an imperious bureaucrat. But, equally, most everyone has in
