Joel Micheal Reynolds’s The Life Worth Living: Disability, Pain, and Morality unpacks the exclusion and demonization of disability within Western philosophy and bioethics. Through the lens of morality and phenomenology, Reynolds demonstrates a fundamental misrepresentation of disability that conflates disabled life with pain, suffering, and death. Through a careful dismantling of this “ableist conflation,” Reynolds points his readers toward an anti-ableist future that reconsiders disability, pain, and systems of care as a whole.
