CENTER FOR BIOMEDICAL ETHICS AND ETHICS

This book is about the women who resisted today's medical eugenics practices. For the women who were told that they should not give birth to their children, because either they or they were diagnosed with a disability. For the women who resisted the ideology of quality control and standards of perfection. They dared to challenge the prevailing medical and social mentality. They stood up to a society that was extremely phobic towards disability and its stigmas. Although they faced implicit disapproval and even hostility, they gave birth to their children, believing that they deserve to taste the gift of life...

What makes this book unique is the boldness and clarity with which it deals with the considered morally difficult cases, highlighting the non-negotiable value of the human being, especially in the phase or state of his life where it is socially, morally and legally challenged. This value is not diminished even when the human being is considered imperfect, or has a physical disability, or is labeled as undesirable. Maybe then she gets her greatest honor...

NIKOLAOS, Bishop. Mesogaias & Lavreotikis (from the foreword of the book)
