A pessoa com deficiência: reflexões ético-bioéticas e as possibilidades de inclusão.

Abstract

This dissertation deals with the central theme on the issue of people with disabilities and their possibilities of social inclusion. In this context, we will begin to understand the vision of societies about the person with disabilities over the centuries, starting from a mystical vision of a cursed human being, in the ancient age, after a person worthy of clemency, in the middle ages. Then, placing them among the excluded people in each phase of humanity, until we reach a humanistic vision, always within ethical-moral reflections of how society has seen and treated these people. We address philosophical reflections, ethical and bioethical reflections on the human being as a vulnerable being, seeking aspects of care and otherness, so that within diversity, these beings who are in fact excluded by their difference, can gradually seek their place in a society full of prejudices. At the end, the discussion starts in search of greater social and political participation, demanding affirmative action on the part of the State and ethical conduct on the part of all people, facing the other (disabled) as their peer, and in equal conditions and opportunities.
