    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→Preferring non-disabled individual B over disabled individual A is acceptable when treatment to A would be a total waste of a scarce resource

    The supporting argument's P3 assumes the fairness of outcomes without examining whether the prior social failure to accommodate disability created the conditions making treatment appear 'wasteful' in the first place.

    Key Terms

    Accommodate(as used in disability rights and social justice)
    To adjust or modify something so that it works for someone's particular needs; for example, providing wheelchair ramps or sign language interpreters.
    Assumes(as used in logical analysis)
    Takes something to be true without proving it first; the argument treats this claim as a given fact rather than something that needs to be demonstrated.
    Begging the question / circular reasoning (implied in 'assumes')(as used in logical fallacies)
    When an argument sneaks in its conclusion as one of its starting points, making it impossible to actually prove anything—like assuming the answer is true to justify why the answer is true.
    Fairness of outcomes(as used in ethics and disability justice)
    The idea that results or final situations should be just and equal; in this context, whether treating disabled people the same way as others produces fair results.

    Prior social failure(as used in social and institutional critique)
    A way that society has historically neglected or refused to do something—in this case, not making accommodations for disabled people's needs before the current moment.
