 An account along these lines may have the potential to distinguish disease from disability so as to make the former immediately relevant to well-being in a way the latter is not. Unlike purely non-normative accounts, it only finds a health-decrement where something bad comes from the state of the body. Unlike capaciously normative accounts, it defines these “bads” in terms of a general and health-specific harm; not just any body-based limitation on the pursuit of our (potentially idiosyncratic) goals makes us unhealthy. And finally, defining health in terms of bodily dispositions could help to explain why extrinsic factors, like those cited by social models of disability, are irrelevant to health. It could distinguish between harms that come from social responses to the body from harms that come from the body itself; thereby distinguishing between harms that generate claims on health care and harms that generate claims against discrimination or the denial of fair equality of opportunity.
