Resumen
- This paper provides an overview of a new approach proposed in Spain in 2006 by two of the authors: The diversity approach (PALACIOS y ROMAÑACH CABRERO, 2006). This new approach is a vision based on Human Rights and considers the work on the field of bioethics a basic tool to achieve dignity for people who are discriminated on the basis of their disability. Furthermore, the “disability” con-cept is considered inadequate, and instead, the term “functional diversity” is proposed, and it shall be used from now on.
