Summary: | The essay establishes historical correlations between social engineering and eugenics measures, affecting access to health care for people with disabilities during the Pandemic in Brazil. Historical circumstances date back to “ideals” proposed by the Eugenics Leagues, affect equity in the health of people with disabilities during this health crisis. Ethical aspects related to the Covid-19 and disability relationship are examined in view of the justification of the scarcity of resources in the Pandemic. Exposed between “make live, let die”, we seek to understand the impacts of the pandemic on the existential territories of people with disabilities. It reflects on the “guidelines” and “clinical assessments” that historically allow themselves to be crossed by the governmentality of discursive practices, affecting the bodies of subjects and the “body of society”. The economistic logic permeates the recommendations of corporeal “medical knowledge”, normative bodies that will be prioritized, to the detriment of population segments exposed to the disease. This biodeterminism applied to the screening of Covid-19 victims, addressed in Milićević's work, explains the use of disability as a factor in denial of treatment. The “normal”/“abnormal” antinomy is reinstated in an attempt to neutralize necropolitics in the face of Covid-19. The essay refers to Foucault deploying the biopolitics of the medical apparatus to deal with the population as a scientific and political problem. In order to consider the biodeterminism that suppresses the rights of subjects, we turn to Engelhardt's postmodern bioethics, examining the emergency care of people with disabilities. The manuscript follows a bioethical path that debates equity in health and efficiency in the allocation of resources. Finally, it reflects on ways in which society can contribute in the post-pandemic world, ethically and aesthetically privileging existential territories of people with disabilities. |

Circunstancias históricas que se remontan a “ideales” propuestos por las Ligas Eugenesias, afectan la equidad en la salud de las personas con discapacidad durante esta crisis sanitaria. Se examinan aspectos éticos relacionados con la relación Covid-19 y discapacidad frente a la justificación de la escasez de recursos en la Pandemia. Expuestos entre “hacer vivir, dejar morir”, buscamos comprender los impactos de la pandemia en los territorios existenciales de las personas con discapacidad. Reflexiona sobre las “directrices” y “evaluaciones clínicas” que históricamente se dejan atravesar por la gubernamentalidad de las prácticas discursivas, afectando los cuerpos de los sujetos y el “cuerpo de la sociedad”. La lógica economicista permea recomendaciones de “saberes médicos” normativos corpóreos, dando prioridad a los cuerpos, en detrimento de los segmentos de población expuestos a la enfermedad. Este biodeterminismo aplicado al cribado de víctimas de la Covid-19, abordado en el trabajo de Milićević, explica el uso de la discapacidad como factor de denegación del tratamiento. Se restituye la antinomia "normal"/"anormal" en un intento de neutralizar la necropolítica frente al Covid-19. El ensayo hace referencia a Foucault desplegando la biopolítica del aparato médico para tratar a la población como un problema científico y político. Para considerar el biodeterminismo que suprime los derechos de los sujetos, recurrimos a la bioética posmoderna de Engelhardt, examinando la atención de emergencia de las personas con discapacidad. El manuscrito sigue un camino bioético que debate la equidad en salud y la eficiencia en la asignación de recursos. Finalmente, reflexiona sobre formas de contribuir a la sociedad en el mundo pospandemia, privilegiando ética y estéticamente los territorios existenciales de las personas con discapacidad.O ensaio estabelece correlações históricas entre medidas de engenharia social e eugenia, afetando o acesso aos cuidados de saúde de pessoas com deficiência durante a Pandemia no Brasil.

Examinam-se aspectos éticos relacionados na relação Covid-19 e deficiência diante da justificativa da escassez de recursos na Pandemia. Expostos entre “fazer viver, deixar morrer”, busca-se compreender impactos da pandemia nos territórios existenciais de pessoas com deficiência. Reflete-se acerca das “orientações” e “avaliações clínicas” deixam-se atravessar historicamente pela governamentalidade das práticas discursivas, afetando corpos dos sujeitos e o “corpo da sociedade”. A lógica economicista perpassa recomendações do “saber médico” corponormativando corpos que serão priorizados, em detrimento dos segmentos populacionais expostos à doença. Esse biodeterminismo aplicado à triagem de vítimas de Covid-19, abordado no trabalho de Milićević, explicita o uso da deficiência como fator de negação ao tratamento. Reinstitui-se a antinomia “normal”/“anormal” na tentativa de neutralizar a necropolítica no enfrentamento da Covid-19.
