p149. Why is it that some people are so quick to join the death-is-the-answer position when it comes to disablement...? I can only surmise that these nob-stabled people fear disablement so much that they automatically assume that they are doing us a favor by supporting our right to die.
pickADA, legal struggles for civil rights, employment, social security, housing, mobility, healthcare & poverty to darker subjects like incarceration, institutionalization, eugenics, bodies as raw material. Hurricane Katrina chapter =heartbreaker. Often repetitive, missing context or specific examples, but trace the footnotes I guess? Co-written chapters stronger. A bit dated (Russell died in 2013) but revelatory—strong arguments & strong voice. 2019
