(Mis)Framing Schiavo as Discrimination Against Persons with DisabilitiesAnita SilversSan Francisco State University - Department of Philosophy Leslie P. FrancisUniversity of Utah - S.J. Quinney College of Law 2007 University of Miami Law Review, Vol. 61, No. 3, p. 789, 2007 Abstract: Critics have framed the legal processes in the Terri Schiavo case as discrimination against people with disabilities. Certainly, Terri Schiavo was a person with a disability. But the arguments charging disability discrimination in the case rest on assumptions that are deeply problematic in regard to science, to guardianship and surrogate decision-making law, and to achieving the good for people with serious cognitive disabilities.
