Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Liao, Savulescu, and Sheehan argue that growth attenuation in some disabled children, particularly those with severe physical and/or cognitive impairments, may be morally acceptable under certain circumstances, such as when it can improve the child's overall quality of life and alleviate the burden of caregiving for the family. However, they do not suggest that such interventions are always morally permissible or without potential risks or drawbacks. The other options listed, the surgical removal of breast buds or uterus in impaired children, are not discussed or endorsed by Liao, Savulescu, and Sheehan.
