Disability-positive testimony—unless we adopt wholesale skepticism about it—gives us good evidence that removing someone’s disability (provided you can hold fixed other circumstances) doesn’t thereby make that person better off. It would make some people better off, it would make some people worse off, and for some it would have little impact whatsoever.

Finally, the same sort of considerations apply to:

(iv) Consider two possible worlds, w and w*, which are relevantly similar to the actual world except that w contains no ableism and w* contains both no ableism and no disabled people. The overall level of well-being in w* is higher than the overall level of well-being in w, in virtue of the fact that w* contains no disabled people.
