Brilliant Imperfection: Grappling with Cure
Eli Clare (Author)
“As lawmakers present some lives as worth less than others, we need voices like Clare’s: the voices of those who see worth in the most devalued lives but who also recognize that a simple critique of medical technology is inadequate when so many people around the world desperately need access to that technology. Brilliant Imperfection is therefore timely and necessary for our current political moment–and it will prove a critical resource as we seek to create a better world.”
