The article highlights on the previous literature on the attitudes of college or university students towards people with disabilities in the social context globally. The article also includes factors that influence the willingness of college or university students to build relationship with people with disabilities in the social context (such as friendship, dating, and marriage) and perceptions of students that add to the existing challenges encountered by people with disabilities. When perception is being measured in a more specific dimension, such as, in the social distance context, it provides a practical means to understand people’s awareness towards disability.Keywords: university student attitude; people with disabilities; social context

A decade ago, Adrienne Asch asked: “Is it possible for the same society to espouse the goals of including people with disabilities as fully equal and participating members and simultaneously promoting the use of embryo selection and selective abortion to prevent the births of those who would live with disabilities?”1 She concluded that informed reproductive choice, including the use of pre-implantation genetic screening and selective abortion, could potentially coexist with respect for current and future people with disabilities, but that achieving such a balance would require substantial clinical and cultural changes in light of the social context in which decisions about disability-based selection are made.
