  • Nontherapeutic Growth Attenuation, Parental Medical Decision Making, and the Profoundly Developmentally Disabled Child’S Right to Bodily Integrity
    KOLL.DOCX (DO NOT DELETE) 12/17/2009 2:48 PM GROWTH, INTERRUPTED: NONTHERAPEUTIC GROWTH ATTENUATION, PARENTAL MEDICAL DECISION MAKING, AND THE PROFOUNDLY DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED CHILD’S RIGHT TO BODILY INTEGRITY MARY KOLL* Should parents of a profoundly developmentally disabled child be permitted to permanently terminate their child’s healthy bodily de- velopment in order to arguably increase the child’s quality of life? While such a procedure may sound like something out of science fic- tion, a highly publicized medical journal article released in 2006 de- scribed the case of Ashley X, a profoundly developmentally disabled child who received high-dose hormone treatment—along with a mas- tectomy and a hysterectomy—to permanently stunt her growth and al- legedly increase her quality of life. Though the authors of the article presented this type of nontherapeutic growth attenuation as a viable medical option for profoundly disabled children, critics from all over the world characterized the procedure—which came to be known as the “Ashley Treatment”—as a grave and unacceptable human rights violation. Nonetheless, the Ashley Treatment has also been met with support from some, most notably the parents of profoundly disabled children, many of whom have expressed a desire for their own child- ren to undergo similar procedures. This Note explores the question of whether parents should be permitted to choose such interventions on behalf of a child from the perspective of the child’s rights, specifi- cally, the child’s fundamental right to bodily integrity. Following a brief description of the case of Ashley X and the ensuing controversy, the author describes the right to bodily integrity, including its origins, its modern constitutional status, and its application to profoundly dis- abled children.

Pope, J.D., M.A. University of Pittsburgh, 2007 Autonomy is a core value of American tradition and is promoted in health care through the doctrine of informed consent. The notion underlying informed consent is that patients should have the right to decide, and are often in the best position to know, what will enhance their own well-being. Although this ethic has been extended to incompetent patients, by employing surrogate decision making, providing surrogate decision makers for adults with moderate, mild, and borderline mental retardation (“M-BMR”), who could potentially make their own decisions if adequate supports were offered, unreasonably restricts the autonomy of such individuals and often results in disregard for the patients’ human dignity.

  • The Strange Case of Ashley X
    Forever Small: The Strange Case of Ashley X EVA FEDER KITTAY I explore the ethics of altering the body of a child with severe cognitive disabilities in such a way that keeps the child ‘‘forever small.’’ The parents of Ashley, a girl of six with severe cognitive and developmental disabilities, in collaboration with her physi- cians and the Hospital Ethics Committee, chose to administer growth hormones that would inhibit her growth. They also decided to remove her uterus and breast buds, assuring that she would not go through the discomfort of menstruation and would not grow breasts. In this way she would stay ‘‘forever small’’ and be able to be carried and handled by family members. They claimed that doing this would ensure that she would be able to be part of the family and of family activities and to have familial care. But the procedure has raised thorny ethical questions. I wish to explore these questions philosophically by bringing to bear my own experiences as a mother of a grown daugh- ter with severe cognitive impairments. PRELUDE THE CASE In 2002, the parents of a six-year-old girl with a condition that will require physical care throughout her life, and who had begun to exhibit signs of pre- cocious puberty, requested, and were granted, permission to have high doses of estrogen administered to induce the premature closing of the long-bone epiphyses, thus maintaining the girl’s height at 4’5’’. The intention was to facilitate her care by keeping her small. To reduce the uterine bleeding that accompanies the procedure, as well as the risk of uterine cancer, she underwent a hysterectomy prior to the estrogen treatment.

The Ashley Treatment: The Current Legal Framework Protects the Wrong Rights. MINN. J.L. SCI. & TECH. 2009;10(2): 773-800. Note The Ashley Treatment: The Current Legal Framework Protects the Wrong Rights Jillian Kornblatt* In 2006 two Seattle doctors performed several procedures to attenuate the growth of a profoundly neurologically and cognitively disabled six-year-old girl. When the doctors described the treatment in a medical journal, the story gained worldwide publicity and quickly became the subject of a highly contentious and emotionally charged controversy. As a result, a federally-sanctioned disability rights protection organization conducted an investigation and concluded that the treatment should not have been performed without a court order and that doing so violated the girl’s constitutional rights. Part I of this Note considers the legal framework applied to the treatment decision and how the framework would apply to other children whose parents requested the treatment. Part II then analyzes whether this framework adequately protects the best interests and constitutional rights of potential candidates for this treatment and their parents.

  • Fact Sheet: Women with Disabilities and Legal Issues
    TASC is sponsored by the Administration on Developmental Disabilities (ADD), the Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS), the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA), the Social Security Administration (SSA), and the Health Resources Services Administration (HRSA). TASC is a division of the National Disability Rights Network (NDRN). Fact Sheet: Women with Disabilities and Legal Issues Concerning Reproductive Health August, 2011 Prepared by: National Health Law Program Jina Dhillon and Celine Lefebvre1 with a grant from the Training and Advocacy Support Center (TASC) Introduction This fact sheet describes significant reproductive health-related legal issues that women with disabilities may face. Women with disabilities are particularly susceptible to discriminatory standards of care, coercion and misinformation about their reproductive autonomy. Courts have issued decisions involving the capacity to consent to sterilization, abortion and similar procedures, or the ability of a guardian to make reproductive health determinations in the best interests of the individual. This fact sheet provides an overview of case law in this area as well as a brief discussion of other issues identified by legal scholars as important areas for advocacy. Reproductive Health Issues Sterilization People with mental and physical disabilities have often been subjected to forced sterilization. The notion that these women and men are unable to make meaningful decisions about their reproductive capacity often leads caretakers, guardians, and the courts to consider sterilization as the best option for them. Case law regarding sterilization stems from the United States Supreme Court’s 1927 decision in Buck v. Bell, in which the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a Virginia statute that instituted compulsory sterilization of individuals with mental disabilities.2 Since then, many cases have addressed the issue of sterilization of women with disabilities.

  • Pain and Surgery in the Ashley X Case
    Developmental Disabilities Bulletin, 2009, Vol. 37, No. 1 & 2, pp. 63-90 Cutting Edge Treatment: Pain and Surgery in the Ashley X Case Dick Sobsey John Dossetor Health Ethics Centre University of Alberta Pain and surgery are phenomena that have frequently been mentioned in the discussions of the Ashley X case. This article describes how pain and surgery have been used selectively to argue for or against the Ashley X procedures. Few if any of the many publications discussing the merits of the Ashley-X procedures can be said to strike a reasonable balance between the pros and cons of the procedures. This lack of balance and extreme polarization may result in part from the lack of precedents and weak research foundation for making decisions around this kind of treatment. In “the Unkindest Cut of All, “ Heidi Janz (2009, this volume) describes how surgery and pain were constructed in discussions of the killing of Tracy Latimer. Surgery is described as an invasive torture that mutilates the body with little prospect of relief and likely to result in catastrophic complications. While the primary purpose of the surgery proposed for Tracy Latimer was to relieve pain, there was little discussion of surgery’s role in mitigating pain and great emphasis on the role of surgery as a cause of pain. In short, those who supported the killing of Tracy Latimer did so because they believed that the surgery prescribed to relieve her pain was actually a fate worse than death. This paper explores images of pain, suffering, and surgery in another case involving a child with severe disabilities, the Ashley X case.

Even before I was enrolled at Claremont McKenna or had delved into the fields of bioethics and Philosophy, my dad was a strong advocate for working to ensure that people with disabilities had access to resources that they needed in order to achieve similar feats as people without disabilities. I really admired that about him, and his willingness to support a community that was so far from his own, and I feel proud that I wrote my thesis on a topic that is still extremely relevant in terms of examining justice.
