    My cousin has consciousness as well as Chromosome 5q minus. She can not preform any type of labor.

      Forgive my ignorance of the condition but what are her limitations? Can she communicate? Care for house plants? Read a book? Perform any artistic expression? Can she make you laugh? Even once a week/month/year?

      I’m struggling to think of a scenario where a person has any amount of conscious agency but can’t do anything of that produces a even a minor amount of value, unless you’re unduly restricting the definition of labor.
