Isi artikel

The moral status accorded to an individual (or class of individulas) helps to account for the weight of the moral obligations considered due to an individuals (or class of individuals). Strong arguments can be given to indicate that the moral status of intellectually disabled indivuduals derives from individualism. Ontological and normative components of individualism are indentified. It is shown that individualistic, ontological criteria for personhood compromise the integrity of "dependent" individulas. And it is shown that the normative component of individualism further compromises the integrity of intellectually diasbled individuals. An alternative view of the self is outlined in which dependence features centrally. It is tentatively suggested that such a view of the self may prove more congenial to enhancing the moral status of individuals with intellectual disabilities.
