Disability ethics, law, and policy covers a vast territory that can only be navigated if the relationships between these three social phenomena are made clear. The best approach is to view ethics as fundamental— both in the sense that it has a direct impact on people’s lives and because, conceptually, ethics provides the normative foundations for law and policy. More concretely, controversial and high-profile legal cases have, in often very powerful and personal terms, explored our ethical intuitions about, for example, the moral worth of a life with impairments. Furthermore, all policy is embedded in social values like equality, freedom, and dignity that define who we are as people. Policies and programs for people with disabilities are invariably implemented and enforced by means of laws and regulations, while legal pronouncements by the Supreme Court sometimes require legislators to rethink, or abandon, policies and programs. The interrelationships between ethics, law, and policy, in other words, are complex and often difficult to pin down.
