Need to be fixed

This topic is too broad to make a one side conclusion. Firstly I will start by saying that I do agree with the idea of moral importance of health it really provides us with a "no worries" life which everybody likes and often takes for granted. But than again when we get to talk about a life worth of human dignity I totally disagree with Nussbaum's idea that any individual that has not secured one of the 10 capabilities can not have a decent living. This makes me feel like: What are you saying? Here is what bothering me, the-life-worth-of-human-dignity term. If we use this terminology we have to be very careful by what we mean by that. In the eyes of the society it always looks different. But for a disabled person I'm sure that living a life he or she wants without any prejudice is the most worthy life ever. So for me the message is clear: the life I live, my life with all its issues and regardless of the quality of my health is already a life worth a human dignity. Under any condition! It is wrong for me to say that because this person has a lack of health and lack of opportunities I probably should refer her to a less or low worthy life level. It's so wrong. This definitely should be personalized to Individual needs and perspectives. Under any circumstances and conditions any life itself is a life worth a human dignity. And we make our biggest mistake when we neglect it. Wether I have the opportunity to study or not, whether I can walk or not, whether I am ill and need a constant medical care there is no reason for stating my life as miserable and less worthy.
