What it is Filled
A congenital or acquired major abnormality in the shape of a body part or organ, including changes associated with injury, disease or growth disturbance; minor variations alone are outside this sense. Malformation, dysplasia and anomaly have distinct medical meanings and are not interchangeable substitutes for deformity. Management may include monitoring, orthotics, surgery and support.
Why it exists Filled
Let an agent explain structural anomalies in general terms with respectful language, distinguish congenital from acquired forms and the terms used in medicine, relay assessment and treatment information from clinical sources, and route personal questions to clinicians.
Distinguishing features Filled
- The defining feature is a major structural abnormality rather than a functional disturbance alone.
- Forms can be congenital or acquired.
- Severity and functional effects vary within the scope of major structural abnormalities.
- Terminology matters for respect and precision.
What robots and AI may and may not do Filled
Must not
- Use stigmatising language about people's bodies.
- Give personal medical advice in place of a clinician.
- Share images of a person's body without consent.
- Present a body difference as something a person must have corrected.
Only with a human decision
- Any treatment or surgery decision.
May
- Explain kinds of structural body differences using respectful medical terms.
- Relay information on management options from recognised health sources.
- Suggest seeing a clinician for assessment, especially in children.
Moral aspects Filled
- People with visible differences face stigma and discrimination.
- Decisions about correcting a body difference belong to the person or their guardians.
Who is affected
- People with body differences
- Children and their families
- Clinicians
Owners Filled
Steward
The person, with their clinicians.
