Reviews

“The Beautiful Unwanted is wide-ranging in its discussion, covering historical terrain and past bioethical controversies, but doing so by interweaving personal experiences and continually linking up these discussions with the present day. Since Kaposy doesn’t follow a linear, temporal narrative, he effectively shows how we’ve inherited deeply rooted beliefs and attitudes that inform choices today.” Thomas W. Pearson, An Ordinary Future: Margaret Mead, the Problem of Disability, and a Child Born Different
