Funded Activity Summary

The Legal Regulation of Behaviour as a Disability. People who exhibit socially challenging behaviour are increasingly defined in law as having a disability. This project explores the problem of how law should respond to this growing cohort, a problem that becomes more acute as advances in genetics and the brain sciences expand the set of socially unacceptable behaviours that are identified as biologically based. Using detailed case studies of the regulation of genetic screening of embryos for disability and the application of disability discrimination law to behavioural traits, the project is expected to determine how, if at all, law should regulate variant personality and behaviour.
