Cognitive disability, misfortune, and justice

Article Abstract:

Individuals with congenital, severe cognitive impairments are not badly off in relation to justice and thus are not owed special compensation according to comparative or non-comparative principles of justice, contrary to what some arguments claim. Nevertheless, special relations such as between parent and child, family members, or friends justify some partiality between individuals, and are necessary for the good life of a person. These relations provide indirect moral reasons which, in addition to simple beneficence, suggest that one needs to solicit the well-being of the impaired, more than that of animals with comparable capacities.

Baths are designed for comfort and function but excitement can be introduced with materials such as glass.

The death of innocents

Article Abstract:

Waneta Hoyt of New York nearly got away with the murder of her five children because of a pediatric researcher's theory that all five perished due to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Doubts about the theory eventually led to Hoyt's conviction more than 20 years after the controversial deaths.
