And what is output of keeping severely disabled people or animals alive. I think the entire output is to feel good about it.
People with disabilities value different things and even though they don't have outward "success" in the eyes of society, they have tremendous heart.
I've never been the same since working with them. It exposed a lot of my own "disabilities" trying to relate to people. The writings of Jean Vanier has a lot about this...
It's a value we have on it's own, not something we do because it has an economic benefit. Like I said, I think only sociopaths would look at keeping the disabled alive, or helping them day to day, as a bullshit job
We should be asking ourselves deeper questions before we have these issues so we don't buy into the herd consensus.
