Life, death, disability and the human: living life to the fullest
Too often, disabled young people find themselves on the outskirts of society, especially those who have life-limiting or life-threatening impairments (LL/LTIs). There is a great deal of information about the deaths of young people with LL/LTIs, but very little knowledge or understanding of their lived lives. They are non-existent in most academic research, rarely feature explicitly in public policy and are frequently absent from or overlooked by disability communities and disabled people’s own movements. This invisibility is detrimental to the social, emotional and mental well-being of them and their families or carers. This project aims to gain new understanding of the lives, hopes, desires and contributions of disabled young people with LL/LTIs. It will allow researchers to think differently about how society comprehends life and death and will provide knowledge for academics, civil society organisations and others looking to value all lives and respect death as part of the human condition.
