ABSTRACT
Introduction This chapter attempts to illustrate some aspects of the relationship between disability and values, drawing upon claims made by four notable commentators which highlight the apparently intimate connection between values and conceptions of disability. I will try to show that conceptions of disability connect up ultimately with some view about what counts as a ‘good human life’. Lastly, I call into question a strong claim advanced by Engelhardt (1996) concerning what he terms ‘deformity’.
