Document Summary
Roberts argues that for both white women and women of colour, reproductive technology is largely aimed at assigning personal responsibility for non-optimal reproductive outcomes (e. g. resource depleting). On the pressure to take prenatal tests and take action if required, many pregnant women now view genetic testing as a requirement of responsible mothering . Claiming superiority for the right kind of abortion. Kittay claims that personal dignity is closely related to independence, however, human beings are naturally subject to periods of dependency in their lives. Instead of seeing assistance as a limitation, we consider it to be a resource. Common criticisms of care ethics: caring labour is considered a slave morality, care can be considered a type of dependency among unequal"s, care-based ethic is only suited to the private domain. To the degree that the impairment requires a carer for the disabled person to live her life, care (and the carer) is stigmatized by dependency (2011, 51)
