Jennifer Fitzgerald was a lawyer and writer working in the 1990s with Queensland Advocacy Incorporated {(QAI)}, an independent, community-based systems advocacy and legal advocacy organisation for people with disability in Queensland, Australia. As {QAI's} first bioethics advocacy worker, Jenny insightfully identified the threats posed by areas of biotechnology, for people with disability. Her works include a collection of papers on ethical issues facing people with disability, and {“Include} Me In: Disability Rights and the Law in Queensland” (1994).
