Read about it at /the-complicated-issue-of-transableism. ![]() As Ashley Taylor reported in 2019, philosophers Tim Bayne (Monash University, in Melbourne, Australia) and Neil Levy (University of Oxford, in England, and Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia) make the case that transabled people who seek amputations should be able to get them from reputable surgeons. In even more horrific cases, people sometimes find surgeons willing to amputate perfectly healthy limbs.Īnd there are "respectable" advocates for this.
