 lent le professeur Christopher Kaposy pour une présentation sur le dépista
 ge prénatal et la discrimination. Son exposé sera animé par le professeur 
 Jonas-Sébastien Beaudry.\n\nRésumé\n\n[En anglais seulement] Liberal state
 s have the goal of promoting the well-being of their citizens. They also a
 llow citizens the freedom to define for themselves what their well-being c
 onsists in. On the one hand\, prenatal testing enables autonomous choice i
 n reproduction – a choice allowed in a liberal state. On the other hand\, 
 the urge to screen out disabilities like Down syndrome is motivated by an 
 atmosphere of bias against people with these conditions.\n\nI argue that p
 utatively autonomous choices are subject to influence and manipulation by 
 institutional forces such as medicalization\, corporate advertising\, and 
 other forms of persuasion. By deferring to the autonomous choices of its c
 itizens\, the liberal state can provide little counter-weight against disc
 riminatory attitudes expressed through prenatal testing. While corporate a
 nd institutional forces construct choices and values\, the liberal state l
 eaves the field\, to the detriment of people with disabilities. This talk 
 will consider possible lines of response for those of us opposed to ableis
 m.\n\nConférencier\n\n[En anglais seulement] Chris Kaposy is an Associate
