Ethics of human enhancement in cerebral palsy / Bernard Dan in Annals of physical and rehabilitation medicine, Vol. 63, n°5 (Octobre 2020)

Public ISBD [article]  inAnnals of physical and rehabilitation medicine > Vol. 63, n°5 (Octobre 2020) . - p. 389-390 Titre : Ethics of human enhancement in cerebral palsy Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Bernard Dan ; Karine Pelc Année de publication : 2020 Article en page(s) : p. 389-390 Note générale : doi.org/10.1016/j.rehab.2019.03.002 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : In the past, attitudes to disabled persons often tended to be dehumanizing, despite good intentions. Current frameworks based on functioning and person-driven goal setting hopefully abate stereotypes and prejudice and allow persons with cerebral palsy to thrive in ways that centre on their aspirations rather than their disability. One of the challenges in rehabilitation medicine is to develop and integrate technologies to overcome individuals’ own limitations and improve their functioning capacities in a meaningful way. Examples of sophisticated technologies applied in cerebral palsy include robotic exoskeletons [1], neural-control interface devices [2] and brain stimulation techniques [3].

The continuing evolution of “Cerebral Palsy” / Peter L. Rosenbaum in Annals of physical and rehabilitation medicine, Vol. 63, n°5 (Octobre 2020)

Public ISBD [article]  inAnnals of physical and rehabilitation medicine > Vol. 63, n°5 (Octobre 2020) . - p. 387-388 Titre : The continuing evolution of “Cerebral Palsy” Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Peter L. Rosenbaum ; Bernard Dan Année de publication : 2020 Article en page(s) : p. 387-388 Note générale : doi.org/10.1016/j.rehab.2019.09.008 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Cerebral palsy (CP) is a relatively recent concept in the history of medicine. Famously, a few pre-scientific feature descriptions have been interpreted as possible references to congenital deformity; examples are Homer's characterization of Hephaistos as god of the “crook foot” (Iliad, XXI, 331) or the title character's self-description in William Shakespeare's King Richard III (I, 1) as “Cheated of feature by dissembling nature/Deformed, unfinish’d, sent before my time/Into this breathing world, scarce half made up,/And that so lamely and unfashionable/That dogs bark at me as I halt by them.” However, these descriptions primarily serve literary purposes and have limited diagnostic value. (Incidentally, analysis of the remains of the historic Richard III suggested no signs of cerebral palsy but slight adolescent-onset idiopathic scoliosis [1]). As with all medical diagnoses, CP is a construct aiming to describe, explain and capture reality in keeping with current knowledge and understanding, in a way that is thought to be useful to the person with the diagnosis [2]. On the other hand, there are limitations to “diagnosis”, and an account of the person with that diagnosis is a necessary complement to the label itself [3].
