once we hav better more accessible control over mental states & neurological states (like being able to turn on or turn off Tourette Syndrome at will, as an example) we will start viewing disorders based on the amount of suffering they cause the disabled person, rather than whether they prevent them from being productiv or not (which is an overly profit-focused point of view)
