Is that a rhetorical question?

Providing due care is exercised in the process I don't see any reason not to help and incentivise people who's lives have, through choice, become so unhealthy that they can't work. Difficult medical judgements and decisions have to be made all the time and I don't see that this is different but where there's a clear medical/psychological reason for the problem, that must be taken into account and allowed for.
