From the Paper:

"Dreger's statement that "One person's abnormality is another person's life" must be looked at from two perspectives: the normal versus pathological and the full spectrum of normality. The first perspective groups persons into these groups based on defined norms, such as laboratory norms and absence of criteria defining a certain pathology. In contrast, the second perspective uses no such dichotomy; rather, it accepts the different variants of normality. An inherent feature of modern medicine, the "ideal" norm is a state of health, where the person is free of any disease or congenital or inherited abnormalities. The latter, especially where anatomical variants are concerned, is sometimes prone to norms set by cultural and social biases that may adversely affect medical treatment decision-making."
