- Life, Death and Disability For many in the disabled community, the murder
of Tracy Latimer represented a "better dead than disabled" attitude. Issues
such as quality of life and end of suffering are seen by many
in this community as just new wrappings on the old idea of eugenics and race
betterment. Writer and activist Dave Hingsburger brings us the voices
of people with disabilities: scientists, doctors, ministers and activists
as they talk openly about the quality of their lives and who should determine
what's good for them. http://radio.cbc.ca/programs/ideas/sounds/Disability1.rm

scientific and technological change influence the quality of our lives and
mediate our ability to pursue "the good life"? (Moderator: onn Nugent).
