 Even Martha Nussbaum (2006), a strong proponent of an objective account of well-being and of the capabilities of people with disabilities, fears that the premium her capabilities account places on choice may be excessive in assessing the well-being of people with the most severe cognitive disabilities, who lack the capacity to make meaningful choices in some or many domains. She favors a greater emphasis on functionings than capabilities for people with cognitive disabilities: on what they actually do or experience than on their capacity to choose among experiences, activities, and life plans. This suggests a way to modify her account so that more people with such disabilities reach a threshold of well-being. But it adopts different standards for people with severe cognitive disabilities as compared to other people, and raises the question of where and how to draw the line between those to whom each standard applies.
