题目:“Does Disability Make a Person Worse off?”

摘要：

Many scholars in disability studies argue that disability does not make a person worse off. For instance, the mere-difference view, proposed by Elizabeth Barnes, holds that disability is a neutral trait with regard to a person’s overall well-being. This view is supported by the social model of disability, which, unlike the medical model, highlights social factors that (according to this model) cause a disadvantage of disabled people. However, Barnes’ view faces two criticisms: (1) If disability is a neutral trait to well-being, then it will be morally impermissible to remove or cure disability; (2) If disability is a neutral trait to well-being, then it will be morally impermissible to compensate disabled people due to their disadvantaged position. In this talk, I will provide a capability-based understanding of disability and use this as an alternative model to defend the mere-difference view.

标题：残障是否使人的境况变得更糟糕？
摘要：许多残疾研究的学者认为，残障并不会使一个人的境况变得更糟糕。例如，由Elizabeth Barnes提出的“单纯差异观点”认为，就一个人的整体福祉而言，残障是一个中性特征。这一观点得到了残障的社会模式的支持，与残障的医学模式不同，它强调是社会因素导致残疾人处于不利地位。然而，Barnes的观点面临两个批评：(1)如果残障是对福祉的中性特征，那么消除或治愈残障在道德上是不允许的；(2)如果残障是对福祉的中性特征，那么由于残障人士的弱势地位而对其进行补偿在道德上是不允许的。在这次演讲中，我将提供一种基于能力的对残障的理解，并将其作为一种替代模式来捍卫关于残障的单纯差异观点。
