DESCRIPTION:David Wasserman\, from the National Institutes of Health\, will
  be the virtual guest speaker presenting lecture titled "Bad- vs. Mere-Dif
 ference Views of Disability: Where’s the Disagreement?" The Colloquium S
 eries presented by the School of Humanities and Center for Ethics and Heal
 th Humanities features relatively informal presentations of current resear
 ch by the Philosophy and Religion faculty and occasional guest speakers.\n
 \nAbout the Lecture:\n\nDespite the vigorous\, sometimes heated debate abo
 ut the evaluation of disability\, it is surprisingly hard to identify the 
 claims on which careful proponents and critics of bad-difference views dis
 agree. Both deny that it is always or almost always significantly worse to
  be disabled than not disabled\; both accept that some disabilities are ve
 ry bad for some people. Is their disagreement mainly about the probability
  or magnitude of bad outcomes\; about the difficulty of generalizing acros
 s diverse disabilities\; about what environmental and social background is
  assumed in generalizing\; about what counts as a disability “in itself
 ” vs. a contingently-associated condition\; about the appropriate accoun
 t of well-being to use in evaluating disability\; or about whose evidence 
 counts and how much? Wasserman will critically survey these possibilities 
 without reaching any firm conclusion.
