Heightened Technology in the Care of Type 1 Diabetes: an Ethical Symbiosis?
Description/Abstract/Artist Statement
This paper explores the common negative consequences and ethical issues associated with the evolving medical technology used in the care of type 1 diabetes. In this paper I will discuss the ethical impacts of technology on diabetic youth: their view of self, their mechanical requirements, and their health priorities. In order to define the scope of the issues, I will use the following intellectual tools: feminist theory, care ethics, and philosophical discussions of control. This paper will also outline some possible solutions to these ethical issues.
