News headlines (audio of News Headlines; link opens in a new browser window)
Antoinette-Marie Williams interviews Simi Linton (audio of this interview; link opens in a new browser window), writer, artist and professor of disability studies at Columbia University on her new memoir, My Body Politic, now out in paperback.
The balance of our show featured a discussion of the recent controversial case of Ashley X, a nine-year-old girl with what is termed "static encephalopathy"
whose parents and doctors decided on a procedure known as "growth attenuation."
Describing her mental and neurological growth as being frozen at the level of a three-month old, Ashley's parents and doctors implemented a series of operations and hormone therapy that will prevent her from growing any larger or fully maturing sexually. We'll be speaking with a group of advocates and a bioethicist to explore the ramifications of this case both in terms of medical and ethical treatments of people with disabilities and in terms of societal attitudes and public attitudes toward disability.
Hank Bersani, President of American Association on Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities,
Arthur Caplan Ph.D., Chair of Medical Ethics department at the University of Pennsylvania,
Edward Matthews, Executive Director of United Cerebral Palsy of NYC,
Lunetha Lancaster, human rights advocate and newest member of the Largest Minority collective,
and Lawrence Carter Long of the DNNYC.
