Great comment by phil on a NYTimes disability article:

Every person begins in a state of total dependence and most end life in some level of the same. one day I will be disabled.
I think the real problem is the wretched idea that the most human among us should be independent. I refuse to dehumanize another because their level of dependence on others is greater than mine. There would be no need for a pride movement among the more dependent if we started accepting our interdependence and if we humanized people, not based on their abilities, but based on their innate humanity.
