Why do some disabled people not want to become able-bodied?

I remember randomly hearing that some people don’t want to fix themselves, such as an armless person getting arms.

Note that this doesn’t apply to those who became disabled via injury or illness, only to those born with it.

Aside from disability benefits (ex: discount), what other reasons? I personally don’t understand at all.

I’m thinking about the fact that no sane person who’s magicless in the AO verse would deny magic if they could somehow get it with absolutely no consequences.

Im sure even when you get your prosthetic limb, you’re still identified as disabled so you don’t miss out on subsidies

they just love their benefits
nvm
probably because they think theyre special (sped)

I don’t know if prosthetics are expensive or not but I guess that’s why, that’s just my honest opinion

Pride I guess

I don’t really understand why you’re calling this topic bait it’s a valid question

I’ve heard of people who wouldn’t want to improve their bodies even if the opportunity presented itself

is it just because they’re used to how things are? probably.

If you are missing literal limbs you will NEVER be the same no matter how much you try, only adapt with stuff such as prosthetics. People who are severely damaged in the brain can’t simply recover even if they tried. Some people with unimaginable trauma could just never be the same even if they did everything to improve. Stuff like this makes me thing this is bait because it really feels like he’s saying “why don’t people who can’t walk just get up smh”

I mean, you can’t really adapt to the ability to use limbs, if you were born without limbs.

im pretty sure bro is asking “why do some people who were born being inable to walk, not want to walk?”

the question he asks does specifically ask for a person born with these problems, not ones who got it through something, whereas you seem to be talking about people who obtained these problems.

I think it’s because they’re too used to it considering the whole “born with it” thing

It all just comes down to preference tbh, some people just dont want to get prosthetics

Some people are just scared of change. Could be that.
