Tensions exist between the diability rights movement and the work of many bioethics. These reveal themselves in a major recent book on bioethics and genetics, From Chance to Choice: Genetics and JUstice. This book defends certain genetic policies againts criticism from disability right advocates, in part by arguing that it is possible to accept both the genetic policies and the rights of people with impairments. However, a close reading of the book reveals a series of direct moral criticism of the disability rights movement. The criticism go beyond a defense of genetic policies from the criticism of disability rights advocates. The disability rights movement is said not to have the same moral legitimacy as other civil rights movements, such as those for women or "racial" minorities. This paper documents, and in some cases shows the flaws within, these challenges to disability rights movement.
