    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Disability and disease involve physiological or cognitive impairments that reduce functional capacity relative to typical human performance.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Goal-achievement requires instrumental capacities; conditions that diminish these capacities by definition impair goal pursuit under normal circumstances.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Standard conditions assume average environmental accommodations; disabilities cause reduced capacity precisely under these unmodified contexts.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Many disabilities impose no goal-achievement impairment when environmental or social conditions are appropriately modified or accommodated.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Disease and disability are heterogeneous categories; some (like controlled ADHD) may enhance certain goal capacities while affecting others.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Defining disability by capacity loss assumes universalist goals; disability often reflects mismatch between person and environment, not inherent deficit.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
