    Devaluing People with Disabilities Medical Procedures that Violate Civil Rights May 2012 Page | 1 National Disability Rights Network www.ndrn.org www.ndrn.org Page | 2 National Disability Rights Network www.ndrn.org Devaluing People with Disabilities Medical Procedures that Violate Civil Rights Authors David Carlson, Cindy Smith, Nachama Wilker Contributors National Disability Rights Network: Cindy Smith, Nachama Wilker, Curtis Decker, Eric Buehlmann, Zachary Martin, Jane Hudson, David Card Disability Rights Washington: David Carlson, Andrea Kadlec Initial funding for this report came from the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR). Page | 3 National Disability Rights Network www.ndrn.org Page | 4 National Disability Rights Network www.ndrn.org A Letter from the Executive Director Right now, somewhere in America, parents or guardians are sitting down with a doctor to discuss withholding life sustaining medical treatment in situations where there is no terminal disease or removing their child’s sex organs, breasts buds, and stunting growth with hormone treatments. The latter practice, commonly called the Ashley Treatment after the first known child to undergo this procedure, is the latest and most disgraceful point on the long continuum of ways our society devalues and violates the rights of people with disabilities. These conversations happen because the persons being considered are viewed as having little value as they are. They are considered not as fully human, endowed with inalienable rights of liberty, privacy and the right to be left alone—solely because they were born with a disability. The thought of doctors and parents, together, deciding to remove the body parts and stunt the growth of a child based on assumptions about their awareness and quality of life is shocking and disgusting.

This section attempts to gather financial resources that are available on a federal/national level for persons living in the United States. By no means is this section complete; we invite you to share with us any resources you’ve identified. This is an on-going project. We will add more resources as we gather them; please send us resources you know of that are not currently listed.
