Title: Suzy Kilimister
Dignity, Respect, and Cognitive Disability
In this talk I examine the moral status of individuals with severe
cognitive disability. The key question I focus on is what forms of respect
such agents are owed, and on what basis. My goal is to vindicate the claim,
commonplace in the philosophy of disability, that there is a meaningful
moral difference between individuals with severe cognitive disabilities and
non-human animals. Rather than try to vindicate that claim through appeal
to the capacities of individuals with severe cognitive disabilities, or to
their intimate relationships with other persons, I explore the potential of
positing a social kind 'human', to which all human beings belong, and whose
members are owed a certain form of respect.
