Proponents of the expressivist objection argue that the use and provision of testing to select against disability in offspring express negative judgments about existing persons with disabilities. But does the expression of such judgments also wrong those persons? This paper argues that whether the expressivist objection succeeds will ultimately depend on whether a plausible explanation can be supplied for how persons with disabilities are wronged by the expression of negative judgments and that the literature on relational egalitarianism can supply such an explanation, albeit with important limitations.
表达主义反对观点的支持者认为，利用和提供检测以选择避免后代出现残疾，表达了对现有残疾人的负面评价。但是，这种评价的表达是否也对这些人造成了伤害呢？本文认为，表达主义反对观点是否成立最终将取决于能否为残疾人如何因负面评价的表达而受到伤害提供一个合理的解释，并且关于关系平等主义的文献可以提供这样一种解释，尽管存在重要的局限性。
